Sports law

Professional sports require a clear legal foundation—whether managing sports organizations, entering into commercial transactions, or representing athletes’ interests. Legal regulation in this field covers international federation rules, contractual obligations, intellectual property, dispute resolution, and reputation protection.

NJORD lawyers have experience working with representatives of the sports industry—from individual athletes and agents to clubs, federations, and commercial partners. We provide advice both nationally and internationally, helping clients navigate the complex context of sports law.
We provide advice in the following areas:

  • Drafting contracts for athletes, coaches, and agents
  • Sponsorship, advertising, and broadcasting rights agreements
  • Protection of trademarks and image rights
  • Dispute resolution in sports arbitration and civil institutions
  • Management of anti-doping, disciplinary, and other regulatory procedures
  • Structuring, reorganizing, and investment transactions for sports clubs
  • Compliance with international rules (e.g., FIFA, UEFA)

Do you have a specific situation not covered above? Feel free to contact us, and we will look for solutions tailored to your unique case.
