Publisher negotiations
We negotiate publishing agreements on behalf of app developers and game studios, securing fair revenue splits, IP ownership, platform compliance, and data-handling terms across major storefronts.
What our clients face
Entering a new publishing deal
You are an app developer or game studio preparing to publish on a major platform and need to negotiate business and legal terms that protect your interests.
Renegotiating existing platform agreements
Your current publishing terms no longer reflect market conditions or your growth, and you need updated revenue, IP, and compliance provisions.
Launching on multiple storefronts simultaneously
You are releasing across several platforms at once and need consistent, favourable terms that align across all agreements.
Who this service is for
Independent developers, publishing companies, legal advisors representing tech clients, and business managers who want to ensure fair revenue splits, clear IP ownership, and compliant data-handling provisions before signing.
Our approach
Revenue model structuring
Analysing upfront payments, subscription-based sharing, and in-app purchase splits to secure a sustainable deal.
IP rights protection
Ensuring you retain ownership and control over your creative assets.
Platform compliance mapping
Aligning agreement terms with each platform's guidelines to prevent removal or penalties.
User data and privacy provisions
Drafting data-handling clauses that meet GDPR, CCPA, and other applicable standards.
Dispute resolution design
Establishing clear arbitration processes, jurisdiction selection, and escalation paths.
