Sports and Events

Our staff comprises local and worldwide sports legal professionals, and we were the first law firm in the area to create a dedicated sports and events division.

Commercial guidance on problem-solving

Advice on international and local sponsorships, event delivery and hosting, media and broadcast rights, player contracts, related image rights, and several other general commercial agreements pertinent to the industry are all included in our sports and events services.

Members of our team have advised ATP-ranked tennis players, professional sporting clubs, and music and entertainment talent in addition to working with well-known international names and competitions in the industry, such as the Champions League of UEFA (with TEAM Marketing AG), the Euros (with CAA), and the English Premier League (with Liverpool FC).
