Baker McKenzie has a full-service Sport practice across its two Spanish offices, which advises on a range of complex issues pertaining to the Sport industry. Our lawyers have an impressive, in-depth knowledge of the European and domestic Spanish market, as well as the broader international industry when dealing with professional footballers, football clubs, sport agencies and marketing agencies. We have a range of tax, IP, employment and public law lawyers able to address a range of issues affecting sports clients.
Our Sport practice is widely recognised in sports media, and we are regularly called upon to provide legal insight, knowledge and opinion in the field.
The quantity and quality of the work done by the practice group in the past year justifies this promotion. Our work has broadened beyond tax-related matters, with a significant number of high profile matters that have garnered much press attention and we continue to represent prominent players and clubs in matters covering several areas of law. We handle some of the most high-profile sport-related matters and enjoy an outstanding reputation. We have worked with the most important clubs, associations/federations, professional athletes, investment funds specialised in sports deals and professional agents in a wide range of high-profile cases.
