Sports and esports, media and entertainment are distinct yet overlapping areas of the law. They involve piecing together elements of a broad range of legal disciplines such as intellectual property, contract, labour, and applying them to one particular industry sector. The majority of the work of an entertainment and sports law practice is transactionally based such as drafting contracts, negotiation and mediation. However, some situations may lead to litigation or arbitration.
Our team brings first-hand knowledge and experience to Kudun and Partners in dealing with the many facets of the entertainment and sports industry. To successfully penetrate this niche but highly lucrative market, substantial legal concepts across multiple practice areas are required. These involve intellectual property, contracts, labour and employment law and business associations. While understanding these fundamental areas of law are crucial, professional lawyers in this sector must also be business savvy in issues such as pitches and budgeting including financing agreements for television series and films relating to sponsorships, sport clubs associations, bank loans, co-production investments, acquiring necessary permits for location shoots and managing the channels of distributions for general broadcasting, exclusive rights or pay per views and actors/actresses/brand ambassadors/celebrity/athletes on their management contracts, licensing and other rights issues.
