Alain Mathieu has joined Prince Lobel as a partner in the firm’s Litigation group and as Co-Chair of its growing Sports & Entertainment group.
“Prince Lobel’s bold and forward-thinking approach, coupled with its strong reputation and presence, will provide the perfect platform to grow my Sports & Entertainment and Litigation practices, and to deliver exceptional value to my clients,” said Alain. “I am very excited to work with Prince Lobel’s deep bench of talented attorneys and staff.”
Alain handles complex business litigation, including contract disputes, government investigations, intellectual property litigation, and sports and entertainment matters. He works with clients in several sectors including sports, entertainment, consumer goods, financial services, healthcare and technology.
As Co-Chair of the firm’s Sports & Entertainment Group, Alain will help lead the group in providing support to sports and entertainment clients by leveraging the broad range of legal services and expertise offered by the firm.
Alain represents prominent NFL, NBA, MLB, NHL, WNBA, and PLL athletes, as well as entertainers, agencies, agents, teams, leagues, brands, creatives, and executives, on a variety of matters. He is experienced in advising sports and entertainment clients in connection with both their business and personal affairs, including brand development and enforcement; endorsement, name, image, and likeness (NIL), and other licensing agreements; television, film, music, and choreography agreements; broadcast and streaming agreements; league and NCAA compliance; and litigation matters.
“We are energized by the experience that Alain will bring to the firm. Not only will his accomplishments as a litigator and trial lawyer enhance our Litigation group, but his experience in the sports and entertainment world will substantially expand the services we offer to our clients,” said Managing Partner Craig Tateronis. “Alain will be co-leading our Sports & Entertainment group alongside Steve Gans, who has built a strong following throughout the soccer community, and we are eager to see where their combined talents will take this group.”
Alain is dedicated to serving his community. He sits on the Boards of Crossroads (where he currently serves as Vice Chair), The Wily Network, and VISIONS, Inc. In addition, he serves on the Advisory Boards of The Foundation to Be Named Later, the Concussion Legacy Foundation, and Harlem Lacrosse Boston.
