Sports
The stakeholders in sports (including eSports) are diverse, including people who present sports, (e.g., players, coaches, staffs and teams) and audience who watch sports, as well as media and advertising agencies that connect them. Communication technologies have evolved rapidly, and so have the ways we enjoy sports. Sponsors mainly provide material and financial support, and there are also various sports-related businesses such as games and merchandises. In addition, the sports field requires legal support to a wide range of issues, including accidents, harassment and governance issues within sports organizations.
We provide advice and support in various sports-related matters, including not only drafting and reviewing contracts dealing with intellectual property rights (e.g., copyrights and publicity rights) related to media, sponsorship and merchandizing, but also contract negotiation and dispute representation for players and coaches.
