In a sporting context, employment and labour law issues often arise in respect of sports employment contracts and terms, sports agent contracts, sports league rules, restraint of trade, transfers, salary caps, termination, grievance procedures and redundancies.
Further, the international nature of sport means that sports employment issues often necessarily require consideration of international sporting rules and regulations.
Our sports lawyers have experience in a wide range of sports employment and labour law matters and are able to provide comprehensive expert advice in relation to all of the ways in which employment issues can arise in the sporting context. For sporting organisations this could involve the creation of contracts or policies, or advising or acting on behalf of your organisation. For individuals this could include advising on your rights and obligations under an existing or future employment contract.
