Who We Work With > Video Game Publishers & Developers
Video Game Publishers & Distributors
Video game publishers, distributors and other businesses in the industry benefit from attorneys that understand their businesses. Publishing and distribution in video games are very different than in other entertainment industries.
At Odin Law & Media, we work with video game publishers, distributors, and platform-facing businesses that need counsel grounded in how the industry actually operates. From digital storefronts and global releases to physical distribution and hybrid models, we understand the complexity behind getting games into players’ hands.
We advise on publishing agreements, licensing structures, intellectual property strategy, platform compliance, content review, and dispute resolution, supporting companies across the full lifecycle of a title: from acquisition and funding through launch and post-release operations.
Our experience includes supporting companies responsible for shipping hundreds of titles across digital and physical channels, giving us practical insight into deal structures, production realities, and the operational pressures that publishers and distributors face every day.
Whether you are structuring a publishing slate, negotiating global rights, navigating platform and compliance requirements, or even contemplating acquiring a studio, we provide legal guidance that is both practical and strategic.
