Sport in the modern world is big business. Make sure you have the right team and experience on your side.
Sporting disputes arise on a regular basis. Given the complexity of the industry and the money that is often involved such is not surprising. Understanding how the industry works and what is important to the parties is the key to resolving issues that arise. It is rare that a truly advantageous result is ever achieved by parties going off to Court.
By far the preferable route usually is to find a solution to the problem that has arisen. The Court can rarely achieve that as the Court’s role is to dispense decisions and finality as opposed to pragmatic solutions.
We have specific experience of sorting out high level sporting disputes. From Sponsorship agreements that have not worked out to regulatory issues that have arisen through the use of social media.
We understand that sport these days is a business and the end of the day the aim and objective is to end up with more money than you started with.
Our skill in these situations is being able to manage risk effectively. It is easy to avoid risk and to spot risks along the way. Doing that alone is useless to anyone in business.
Examples of how can help are:
