Law360 spotlighted Venable’s new sports law group. The reporter spoke with the team’s new co-leads, Desiree Moore and Ben Stockman, about their athletic backgrounds, current practices, and the motivation for creating the group. Below is an excerpt:

"I am grateful to have been tasked with spearheading Venable's deep bench of sports practitioners alongside my friend and partner Ben Stockman," Moore told Law360 Pulse in an email. "There is so much movement and so many emerging issues that are unique to our sports industry clients, and we look forward to harnessing the talent at Venable to provide excellent and highly skilled services to our clients in this space." 

There are currently between 15 and 20 attorneys who work with sports industry clients in some capacity, Stockman said.

"One of the interesting things we learned was that a surprisingly large proportion of Venable attorneys who work with sports industry clients had impressive, competitive athletic accomplishments of their own," he said. "And so that added to our motivation to take the next step of formalizing this group of lawyers into a team."

One of Stockman's goals is to increase Venable's presence in the sports industry.
