The internationalization of modern sports has transformed the business of sport (including manufacturing, competitions, and media) into a multi-billion pound industry. This growth has contributed to making sports law a surprisingly complex field as well as particularly challenging to practice because it is very fast-paced (there is no “off time” during seasons) and requires extreme flexibility to adapt to last-minute changes (especially around competitions and transfer periods). The love and business of sport also bring together people from very different backgrounds and work cultures.

athlete contracts, athlete intellectual property, athlete personality rights (including image, voice, likeness, name), athlete transfers, agents, agency contracts, sports clubs & associations, leagues, national & international federations, sports governance, statute & by-law drafting, sports discipline, sports integrity, sponsorship, competitions, prizes, dispute resolution
