Contract and Transfers

We believe it is essential that you have the correct team in place when negotiating contracts or transfers and that the legal advice given is both informative and easy to understand.

When entering into a contract it is important to ensure that your interests are fully protected and that your earning potential is maximized.

Many sports contracts contain specific conditions that may limit what you can and cannot do in the future and it is an important part of the process to ensure you are made fully aware of the content and implications of signing such an important document.

Increasingly, contracts of this nature are being entered into by sports men and women who do not fully understand the content. This inevitably leads to complications and disputes later down the line.

We have provided help and advice to several high-profile sports personnel, some of which include Premier League footballers, boxers, and athletes. We are able to offer legal advice on a number of areas so please feel free to give us a call on 0191 909 7990.

Sponsorship, Merchandising and Endorsement Agreements

Sponsorship, Merchandising and Endorsements have begun to open up an attractive alternative to traditional advertising as sports men and women are now looking to maximise every opportunity to ensure they are rewarded from their chosen sports career.

A Sponsorship agreement for example allows a party to enter into a commercial agreement whereby the sponsor agrees to pay or provide certain products or services in return for the right to be associated with that party. There is a wide variety of sports sponsorship and the area can often be very daunting however feel free to give us a call to discuss on 0191 909 7990.

Events Management and Venue Hire

There are many things to consider when dealing with managing any type of event and often the legal aspect is overlooked. For many, contracts and agreements are the last thing on their mind. However, in our experience this is in fact the most important part to get right. It is rare that any event goes without a hitch and if the correct documentation is not put in place prior to the event, it proves extremely difficult to enforce your rights.
