Oxford University Press acquires Gostick Hall Publications

4 August 2006

Oxford University Press has today acquired the assets of UK-based law publisher Gostick Hall Publications. Gostick Hall Publications is a niche legal publisher specialising in trust law and practice and associated subjects including international finance.

Gostick Hall was founded by John Goldsworth. The portfolio comprises 6 titles, including the Trusts & Trustees journal, the leading publication in its field, published for trust companies and practitioners in the UK, EU and overseas. OUP is acquiring the entire portfolio of titles.

Oxford University Press (Oxford) combines a long-standing tradition of commitment to excellence with a full programme of new titles providing for the research and learning requirements of academics, practitioners, and students. Oxford is establishing a worldwide reputation as a first choice legal publisher for authors and customers.

Andy Redman, Editorial Director for Law at Oxford University Press, said:

“We are delighted to be acquiring Gostick Hall Publications, and to be bringing the Trust & Trustees journal into our professional law publishing. This title will fit well with our fast-growing coverage of Trusts and Tax Law. We will work with our new authors, contributors and customers to build on Gostick Hall's vision for high-quality resources for the professional market.”

John Goldsworth, Owner of Gostick Hall Publications, said:

“Oxford University Press is the ideal publisher to take Trusts & Trustees into the future and to develop the concept of an international professional journal on international trusts. This will be to the advantage of subscribers and all who have loyally supported our efforts over the last twelve years and we look forward to an exciting future”.

Gostick Hall Publications is based in Essex. The titles acquired will be integrated into Oxford University Press. All Gostick Hall customers should now contact OUP customer services to place orders and make enquiries. Please note all book titles are currently unavailable.
