Experts in sports law

“There’s no such thing as sports law; it’s just law applicable to sportspeople.”

That’s what we’re told. Does that mean that there is no bankruptcy law, just law concerning bankrupts? Ask our clients and they’ll tell you that they need advisors with an understanding of their industry.

The money involved in professional sports these days means that obligations concerning endorsements, playing contracts, media distribution rights and agencies can form the basis for significant commercial agreements.

We understand that sportspeople also need the right advice in order to protect life and family after their sports career has ended. We bring together our real-life experience and multi-disciplinary legal expertise to give Queensland’s sports clubs, players, associations, administrators and industry premium advice and representation in the areas of:

• Contract advice and negotiation
• Sponsorship and endorsements
• Corporate and business structures
• Licences
• Defamation
• Intellectual property and brand protection
• Disciplinary hearings
• Contract disputes
• Litigation and dispute resolution
• Leasing
• Injury compensation and insurance
