Sports Law

An athlete's career is a portfolio of contracts.

Overview

At Juris & Nova Chambers, our Sports Law practice provides legal assistance to athletes, sports organisations, clubs, associations, coaches, sponsors, and other stakeholders across the sports industry. We advise clients on the legal and commercial issues that arise in professional and competitive sports, with a focus on protecting their rights and interests.

Our practice covers sports contracts, player and athlete agreements, sponsorship and endorsement arrangements, broadcasting and media rights, sports governance, disciplinary proceedings, and regulatory compliance. We also assist with matters involving eligibility, selection, employment, compensation, and disputes between athletes, teams, clubs, and sports organisations.

We handle sports-related intellectual property matters, including athlete image rights, trademarks, licensing, merchandising, and commercial use of sports content. Our lawyers also assist clients in anti-doping proceedings, disciplinary actions, and other regulatory matters before the appropriate sporting authorities and forums.

Where disputes arise, we represent clients in negotiations, mediation, arbitration, and court proceedings, depending on the nature of the matter. Our approach is practical and focused on understanding the contractual, regulatory, and commercial aspects of each dispute.

Whether it involves an athlete contract, sponsorship arrangement, disciplinary proceeding, intellectual property issue, or sports-related dispute, Juris & Nova Chambers provides focused legal support tailored to the needs of clients in the sports sector.

Questions

Frequently asked

Many are resolved through the sport's own internal dispute mechanism or arbitration, including before bodies such as the Court of Arbitration for Sport for international matters, rather than the ordinary courts.

The athlete generally does, unless assigned or licensed under a specific agreement, which is why sponsorship and endorsement contracts need careful drafting on this point.
