Discover Legal Keys to Negotiate with Confidence and Secure Unprecedented Protection
Organized sport operates on a global stage, which brings inherent cross-border legal challenges, as a consequence of its pyramidal structure, the principle of federative monopoly uniqueness, the subjection of sports organizations to the Olympic movement, as well as the need to standardize the rules of the game and other regulatory provisions; to name a few factors.
This reality underscores the urgency of specialized legal advice to avoid invalid clauses, cost overruns, and unfavorable forum choices, not only for negotiating contracts related to sports of the most varied nature (construction, labor, exploitation of image rights, television rights, streaming, international transfers, joint ventures, among many others), but even for determining the legislation (or legislations) applicable to the contract and/or legal relationship between the parties, as well as the forum and/or mechanism chosen for the resolution of disputes that may arise.
This, without undermining the specialized legal expertise required to identify the statutes, regulations, and other applicable sports legal norms equally to the relationships between the parties and their proper articulation with the set of public norms equally binding for the actors of the national and international sports system; all of which, without undermining other considerations, will impact the respective contractual negotiations; hence the importance and need for technical legal advice during the previous and concomitant stages of negotiation and the consequent follow-up in the compliance and execution of the respective contracts.

This knowledge and understanding of the applicable legal framework become even more relevant in the case of sports contracts with an international dimension in which the lack of technical experience on these matters, as well as the way in which the judicial, arbitral courts, and even the administrative authorities of the place where it is treated, interpret the norms and resolve controversies, could undoubtedly lead to the negotiation of terms and conditions at a disadvantage compared to a counterparty or counterparts, properly advised.
