Lawyers for Sports, Gaming and eSports

Our sports law specialists benefit from many years of experience in advising sports personalities and managers, sports associations, agencies and media companies. 

The key areas covered by the CMS sports lawyers include strategic advice, drafting and negotiating contracts in the sports sector as well as asserting the associated rights in court. This activity includes drafting contracts for TV and radio licensing rights and for online use of sports broadcasting content.

Our lawyers for sports matters also advise on marketing sports rights and developing new marketing strategies, as well as on protecting intellectual property rights and copyright in relation to various formats in the sports sector. We advise on legal aspects of major sporting events, including around ticketing, merchandising and perimeter advertising. 

Last but not least, our sports lawyers are experienced in centralised marketing of sporting events by sports associations and the introduction of new sport-focused TV formats and platforms.
