Manager Contracts

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

The sporting world is often associated with reports of managers that have been fired or whose jobs are under threat for one reason or another. The fortunes of a team manager are nearly always tied to the performance of the players under their charge. That doesn’t mean he or she can’t steer the direction of their work in some way. The inverse should be true, but termination provisions in management contracts aren’t always reflective of this. Most management positions are compensated with a bonus of some sort based on performance. Explicit provisions tied to a lack of success could be negotiated. We can provide all of the expert legal assistance you need in negotiating a manager contract and have considerable experience in this area of law.
