As one of the most lucrative and rapidly expanding industries in the world, entertainment events and sporting competitions are increasingly gravitating toward the Middle East, and specifically the Gulf Cooperation Council countries. Paired with the explosive growth of multimedia and the Internet, sporting events are reaching one of the largest consumer bases in the world. Consequently sports clubs, player associations, event sponsors, and television studios are increasingly looking to do business in an otherwise untapped market.

As trusted on-the-ground advisers, we provide sound legal counsel, while simultaneously offering industry-specific commercial and regulatory advice to our clients operating in this dynamic and evolving sector. Our full service offering enables our clients to benefit from our exceptional track-record in both non-contentious and contentious sides of our practice.

Our events and sports law team has been active for years as sports law continues to develop in the Middle East. We frequently counselled the Organizing Committee on a variety of hosting-related contracts and regulations. In Addition to our sports related services, we have advised cinemas, festivals and theatres with respect to various hosting events.
