Ross Sylvester focuses his practice on the acquisition and exploitation of sports rights, acting on behalf of rights holders and broadcasters.
I have nothing but positive comments to make about Ross.
Ross is hugely commercially savvy. His legal analysis on everything was first class. In particular, I rate Ross for his quality of service. His level of expertise in sports is up there with the best.
I would call him a machine, but that would undersell his interpersonal and negotiation skills. Things generally get done quicker and better with Ross involved.
