Harbottle & Lewis named as a Global Top 30 Game Law Firm by Interactive Age

Harbottle & Lewis has been ranked as one of the world leaders for Game Law following a survey by Interactive Age journal. As the only European firm to make it on to the list, the ranking reinforces its reputation as a leading player in all of the key interactive entertainment markets.

Interactive Age journal is a US based peer-journal printed twice-yearly for an audience of executives, creatives, and decision-makers in the video game industry. Recognised worldwide for its thorough research and essays by those in the know, it regularly features columns from presidents of both Entertainment Software Association and Academy of Interactive Arts and Sciences.

Last year, Harbottle & Lewis advised EA Sports, a prolific name in Interactive Entertainment worldwide, on becoming the Official Sports Technology Partner of the Barclays Premier League, which led to a nomination for Sports and Entertainment Team of the Year by Intellectual Property Magazine. The group also represents other well-known names such as Zattikka and Rockstar Games and continues to be ranked in band one for Interactive Entertainment by both The Legal 500 and Chambers and Partners independent legal directories.
