Sports law encompasses a large number of areas of the law, reflecting the scope and activities of the sports industry. We provide advice to both large sporting organisations and individual competitors on issues including sponsorships, employment and dispute resolution.

Sport is now big business, justifying a need for its own specialists. Loosemores' sports lawyers have extensive experience of the industry and not just from a legal perspective.

Our clients include individuals, governing bodies, PR/sponsorship consultancies, associations and sports event management companies.

Contracts play an important part in the world of sport. We are able to apply our extensive contract drafting expertise to the negotiation and drafting of a variety of contracts. We also provide all commercial contracts relating to sponsorship, merchandising and licensing agreements. Broadcasting and new media contracts are also areas in which we specialise.

We pride ourselves on providing further assistance to our clients by recognising the fact that our rights holder clients possess valuable assets and therefore need to ensure that these are protected and exploited in the right manner.

Event organisers and the sports marketing industry need to be advised on a wide variety of commercial and legal issues. This will hopefully ensure that events/relationships run as smoothly and as lucratively as possible.

Sports agents are also provided with the best advice.

We have established relationships with some of Wales' leading associations, giving advice on a range of issues such as sponsorship, merchandising, funding, disciplinary proceedings and the protection of commercial rights.

Our specialist lawyers are members of the British Association for Sport and Law.
