We are excited to announce the launch of Chalk Talk—our newest home for legal alerts, insights, and news related to the world of sports. Follow along as our experienced attorneys, working across professional, collegiate, and amateur sports, draw up the X's and O's behind the legal, policy, and regulatory issues impacting your business.
We'll analyze current and common issues shaping the $500 billion sports industry and offer game plans to help leagues and teams, national governing bodies, franchises, universities and municipalities, athletes, agents, and licensors stay ahead of the curve.
Our Sports Law team includes former athletes whose legal work ranges from real estate, land use, construction, and environmental issues to financing, sponsorships, licensing, media relations, right of publicity, SafeSport, internal investigations, labor and employment counseling, and a host of other sports-related matters.
We are particularly experienced in high-stakes negotiations involving long-term lease agreements, the development of new stadiums and other sports venues, and licensing rights to the various new media used to convey sports content.
Our decades of work navigating the spectrum of legal issues unique to the industry translates to pragmatic counsel rooted in a deep understanding of the economics, venues, players, and rules of the game.
