Our Sports & Entertainment lawyers bring decades of experience advising leading clients in the sports industry across the full spectrum of legal matters.
Our knowledge base has made us a trusted advisor to a diverse variety of industry players, including major professional sports teams such as the New York Giants, New York Jets, and New Jersey Devils. We also advise colleges and universities, amateur and professional sports leagues, stadium and arena operators, industry investors, and innovative sports startups on their pressing legal concerns.
Our work spans several key practices and touches every area of operations. We advise clients on corporate transactions, licensing and sponsorship issues, stadium financings, real estate transactions, ticket resale and sports betting issues, compliance with league or governing body rules (including collegiate name, image, and likeness (NIL) policies), and tax and wealth management issues.
We also advise on and litigate commercial disputes, class actions, employment and immigration matters, broadcast and media rights, and copyright matters, as well as protect and enforce brand identities. We conduct internal investigations, develop compliance policies, and regularly provide counsel on crisis and risk management issues, advising on entity and athlete concerns as they arise, from the routine to the highly sensitive and controversial.
