At Wollens, we offer expert legal advice tailored to the unique needs of businesses in the sports industry. Our team has extensive experience in helping organisations navigate the complexities of this dynamic sector, ensuring your business remains compliant, competitive, and positioned for success.

One of the key areas we focus on is sponsorship agreements. Whether you’re negotiating with global brands or local businesses, we can draft, review, and negotiate sponsorship contracts to protect your interests and maximize commercial opportunities.

We also assist with commercial agreements, including merchandising, broadcasting, and event management contracts. These agreements are vital to the financial and operational success of sports businesses, and our expertise ensures that your agreements are robust and aligned with industry standards.

Regulatory compliance is another critical area of support. We help businesses understand and adhere to the rules and regulations set by governing bodies, ensuring that your operations meet legal and ethical standards. This includes advice on anti-doping compliance, athlete welfare, and safeguarding protocols.

Protecting your intellectual property (IP) is essential in the sports industry, where branding, trademarks, and media rights are highly valuable. We assist with securing, licensing, and enforcing IP rights to safeguard your business assets and revenue streams.

Additionally, we offer guidance on dispute resolution, ensuring that any conflicts, whether contractual or regulatory, are resolved efficiently and effectively.

At Wollens, we take a client-focused approach, working closely with your business to understand your goals and challenges. Whether you’re a sports team, governing body, event organiser, or sponsor, we provide the legal expertise you need to thrive in this fast-paced industry. Let us be your trusted legal partner, helping your business reach new heights in the world of sports.
