The entertainment and sports sector is one of the most dynamic industries in today’s economy.
The commercialization of sporting events, globalization of media content, and growing investments in sports franchises create both unique opportunities and complex legal challenges for market participants.
Companies in this sector regularly encounter a range of specific legal issues that require expert guidance. The most common legal challenges include:
Intellectual Property Protection — A critical aspect for sports clubs, federations, media companies, and film studios. This includes trademark registration for sports teams, event branding protection, copyright protection for media content, and anti-piracy enforcement.
Licensing & Media Rights — Structuring broadcasting rights agreements for sports events, managing content rights distribution across different platforms and territories, and overseeing media coverage rights for major sporting events.
Agreements with Sports Clubs & Coaches — Drafting and negotiating contracts with professional sports organizations, structuring agreements with coaching staff, and managing image rights usage.
Regulatory Compliance — Ensuring adherence to sports federation rules, anti-doping regulations, advertising laws, and licensing requirements in the betting industry.
Event Organization — Obtaining permits, managing risks, and ensuring security for large-scale sports and entertainment events.
