Sports - the legal view
Our business services team can give you the competitive advantage whether you are a sports player or a sports club.
Sports
Whether viewed as a business or simply a fun and competitive activity law affects sport and sporting performance in a very large number of ways. There are therefore a whole series of issues which may assume importance whether from the club's perspective or the player's.
Franklins Solicitors LLP has direct involvement and understanding of some of the relevant issues as evidenced by our successful sponsorship of the 2007 and 2008 motorcycle championship winner Peter Molloy. We sponsored him again for the 2009 season.
Law for the sports player:
- Association rules and compliance e.g. drugs use and disciplinary matters
- Contract negotiation and dispute resolution
- Family law advice
- Health and safety issues
- Injury claims
- Road Traffic
- Wealth protection including Inheritance Tax advice and Wills
Law for the sports club:
- Employment advice
- Employment contracts for players and management
- Intellectual property issues including brand protection and club merchandise rights protection
- Litigation support and dispute resolution
- Sponsorship agreements
