London, August 9, 2004: Oxford University Press (OUP), one of the world's leading academic and educational publishers, has acquired the academic law list from LexisNexis, the UK's largest legal publisher. The van Tulleken Company represented LexisNexis. The list, which includes such well-known titles as Smith & Hogan's Criminal Law and Hepple, Howarth & Matthews, Tort-Cases & Materials, will complement OUP's existing law portfolio.
