Raue LLP Advises De Gruyter on Acquisition of Publishing House von Lucius & von Lucius

Raue LLP advises scientific publisher De Gruyter on the acquisition of Stuttgart-based publishing house von Lucius & von Lucius Verlagsgesellschaft mbH. The publishing house that specializes on economics and sociology was sold by publishers Wulf D. and Akka von Lucius. As of January 2016, new books and 18 scientific journals will be published by De Gruyter.

The publishing list of von Lucius & von Lucius comprises about 300 deliverable titles in German and English. Another 2000 titles are considered to be revivable via De Gruyter‘s e-dition-program. The journal program encompasses, inter alia, „Jahrbücher für Nationalökonomie und Statistik“ (Yearbooks of Economics and Statistics), „Zeitschrift für Soziologie“ (Journal of Sociology) and „Review of Economics“. The acquisition expands De Gruyter’s offering in the area of economics and social issues.

Raue LLP has been working for De Gruyter for years and has advised the publisher on the acquisitions of, inter alia, Verlag der Zeitschrift für Naturforschung, of Austrian AMBRA Buchverlag, of Ontos Verlag and on the acquisition of Oldenbourg Verlag and Akademie Verlag.
