Club Contracts

Blackstone Solicitors provides legal advice on matters relating to club contracts across a variety of sports.

Professional, semi-professional and amateur clubs will all encounter contractual obligations at one time or other whatever sport. Negotiating contracts with players, suppliers, advertisers and sponsors can often be complex with far reaching consequences if the contract is not all encompassing.

Obtaining experienced legal counsel before entering into a contract ensures that your interests are adequately safeguarded and that you are able to maximise the earning potential of any agreements. If you fail to do so, you risk reducing any commercial benefits, both in the short and/or long term.

Numerous sports contracts feature unique clauses that may restrict a club’s future actions. Falling foul of these restrictions can often result in litigation, which can be costly and often carries negative publicity with it.

We can provide all of the expert legal assistance you need in negotiating a club contract and have considerable experience in this area of law.
