Sports Law

The increased commercialisation and commodification of sport continues to attract competing interests and disputes in sport. Equally, sport has seen increased regulation from sports governing bodies and the state. It is now more important than ever, for all involved in sport to seek specialist advice that they can rely on and rest assured that they have complied with the applicable rules, regulations and laws and sufficiently protected their rights or interests. Our firm has an in-depth knowledge and understanding of the sports law area, having acted for, and advised, a diverse range of clients, including athletes, clubs, league, sponsors and sports governing bodies.

Entertainment Law

Technological advancements have changed the way content is created and consumed in the entertainment industry. This has impacted on rights holders in several ways. In some instances the impact has been positive and in some negative. The protection of rights has become a priority for all stakeholders.
