Agent Representation Agreements
Blackstone Solicitors provides legal advice on matters relating to Agent Representation Agreements across a variety of sports.
An agent representation agreement is an important document since it not only regulates the entire relationship between the agent and the player and/or club, but a properly negotiated and designed representation contract is also crucial for preventing litigation.
The typical club and player representation agreement covers only a blank field for the parties to indicate the agent’s services. When concluding a representation agreement, parties that do not seek legal counsel invariably supply broad and basic information about agent services such as “sporting negotiation services.”
In addition to precisely detailing the services that the agent will carry out on behalf of a player and/or a club, the representation agreement should also outline the parties’ respective obligations.
We can provide all the expert legal assistance you need in negotiating agent representation agreements and have considerable experience in this area of law.
