About

Provided by BIGNON LEBRAY

Our team advises its sports clients, clubs, club managers, federations, event planners and regional authorities, on all their projects regarding sports law.

Our savoir-faire applies to all sports (e.g. football, rugby, golf, tennis, motorsport, equestrianism), and includes all areas of French and international business law (contracts, corporate law, taxation, competition law, intellectual property, public law, association law, mediation and litigation).

Sportsmanship and sporting values are profoundly embedded into Bignon Lebray’s mindset, as demonstrated by the numerous projects initiated by the firm. Thus, at the instigation of Alexandre Ghesquière, the firm has organised golf tournaments for its clients for the last 10 years in Lille, in partnership with Golf du Sart. Since last year, Neil Robertson has started inviting members of the Paris office to a cocktail party coupled with a golf initiation at the Golf de Maisons-Lafitte. Finally, following the partners’ invitation, the members of the firm regularly take part in races, defending the colours of Bignon Lebray.
