SPORTS LAW

Today’s professional sport is undoubtedly an independent branch of the economy governed by its own rules. There are entities with diversified interests, both directly related to the sports business (clubs, players, sports associations, sports agents) and indirectly (sponsors, marketing agencies, TV and radio broadcasters, producers of sports equipment, merchandising materials). The experience gained by our team in servicing the largest sports clubs in Poland and in transactions and transfers between domestic and foreign entities allows us to tailor the offered solutions to your needs.
