Sports law encompasses the laws and regulations that govern the world of sport. It is not a stand-alone set of rules but includes several legal elements, such as contract law, labor law, and tort law. At the same time, sport has its own internal regulations, statutes, and policies that affect both individual practitioners and organizations.
Whether you are a professional athlete, represent a club or a federation, or operate on the commercial side of the sports industry, it is crucial to comply with the applicable legal regulations. Issues such as player contracts, transfers, sponsorship agreements, and disciplinary measures are just a few examples where legal expertise can be essential.
At Gulliksson, we regularly work with legal issues related to sport. Several of our employees are themselves active in various sports, both as practitioners and through board work in associations and federations. Our practical experience, combined with our legal expertise, means that we can offer qualified support in all areas of sports law.
