Our Sports & Entertainment Group provides comprehensive services to organizations and individuals at all levels of sports — from youth club to college, to the pros – and as well, at all levels of entertainment — from behind-the-scenes creatives to A-list talent.
From assisting with general business matters and handling litigation and compliance disputes, to protecting the branding and licensing of your company or organization, Prince Lobel’s Sports and Entertainment Group is ready to provide support in any situation.
On the Sports side, we represent clubs, leagues and other organizations in a variety of complex matters affecting each aspect of their operation, including employment issues, financing and merger and acquisition matters, corporate governance, dispute resolution, for-profit/non-profit issues, and the drafting and negotiation of a variety of agreements, including employment contracts, stadium agreements, strategic partnership agreements, strategic partnership agreements, sponsorship agreements, equipment supplier contracts, leases, and operational and revenue sharing agreements. In addition, we have conducted several investigations at the request of universities, leagues and clubs, and we have represented professional and amateur athletes in the negotiation of a wide range of business, licensing, and endorsement deals.
