Sports Law

In the complex and increasingly global sports industry, getting the right legal expertise at the right time is important. Athletes and their agents negotiating contracts, sports governing bodies facing regulatory and disciplinary challenges, and sports-related businesses competing in an international market all need access to specialist sports law advice.

Our sports lawyers and business development consultants provide legal services for governing bodies, clubs, teams, players and agents, and other sports-related commercial ventures. We work across a variety of different sports - from football, rugby, golf, and cricket to sailing, power boat racing, and the motorsports arenas of Formula One and Formula E.

Contracts in sports are no different than contracts in everyday life. Professional athletes are compensated for their services with a paycheck just as anyone else.
