Sport & Esports

Sport is global and our experience is too. Our clients include federations, national governing bodies, event organisers and other sports rightsholders, official data providers, sponsors, clubs and teams, broadcasters and digital platforms, agencies, influencers and esports organisations, so we really do know the ‘business of sport’.

We’re best known for our work on the most lucrative and complex media and data rights deals but we frequently work on digital collaborations, publishing and merchandising deals and sponsorship and endorsement agreements, including the natural cross-over with tie-ups involving our betting company and computer games clients.

Working with talent can be tricky. But if your sport star fails to deliver on a contract or their reputation suddenly takes a nosedive, we have specialist litigators who have successfully dealt with the trickier aspects of these deals (and the associated reputation management).

As sport fans, we share common goals with you and will push beyond the usual legal advisory role to identify opportunities and maximise the value of your sport or esports property.
