Sports law focuses on the legal and business issues that arise in the sports industry. It covers areas such as financial disputes, contracts, employment matters, and transactions involving teams, athletes, agents, event promoters, and investors. Whether it’s resolving conflicts or advising on complex deals, sports law requires practical understanding of both the industry and the laws within that industry—an approach that is reflected in Chris’s work across a wide range of sports and high-stake matters.
