SPORTS & ENTERTAINMENT LAW
What Is Sports Law?
Sports law is the collection of the many different types of law that impact the sports industry. For instance, Sports law might involve issues related to the sale of sporting goods, motorsports, or a contract between a professional sporting team and an athlete both at the professional, collegiate, and armature sporting level, as applicable. The law of sports may also involves other laws that one might not ordinarily associate with the sporting industry, such as real estate law, contract law, trademark law, patent law, and criminal law. Sports law can also involve buying a sports team, engineering and building a stadium, protecting the intellectual property rights of an athlete or sports team. Wilson Legal Group has the extensive legal and business experience to meet your sport law needs.

What Is A Sports Lawyer?
A Sports Lawyer is an attorney who practices sports law with an understanding of intellectual property, business negotiation, and contract drafting with athletes and sporting teams.
