What this session will cover
The professionalisation of sport has driven global business growth, with increasing financial stakes, legal disputes are rising. This seminar explores commercial sporting disputes and how international and domestic laws facilitate their resolution or determination.
The professionalisation of sport over the past 40 years has stimulated unprecedented growth in the international business of sport. Global and local sporting events are now big-business with multiple stakeholders invested in off-field commercial outcomes and financial returns. With more now financially at stake in the business of sport, unsurprisingly legal disputes in both curial and arbitral fora are becoming more frequent. This seminar examines different types of commercial sporting disputes and how international and domestic laws respond to these disputes to bring about their successful resolution or determination.
