Bloomsbury Publishing is to acquire six LexisNexis and Jordan family family law titles from RELX for £1.4m. The titles include Duckworth’s Matrimonial Property & Finance and Hershman and McFarlane: Children Law and Practice. They are all sold in loose-leaf format and are available in online digital format.
Gross profits to 31st March 2015 for the combined titles were £0.8 million on revenues of £1.1m.
The consideration will be paid in two equal instalments, the first on completion and the second six months later. Completion of the acquisition is conditional on the CMA approval of RELX’s acquisition of the Jordan publishing business, a ruling on which is expected in January 2016.
Bloomsbury’s preliminary results for the full year ending 29th February 2016 will be announced on 19th May 2016.
