Sports Law & Business 2010

12th International Forum

Sports Law & Business 2010

Wednesday, April 28 to Thursday, April 29, 2010

Sports Law & Business 2010 is THE best conference on the market focused on the key commercial and regulatory issues facing those advising on and involved in sport. 

In these times of financial downturn, governing bodies, clubs, teams and brands, must, more than ever, examine very carefully the way that they protect and leverage media rights and sponsorship in order to remain attractive in an increasingly competitive sports market. On the regulatory/governance side, sport simply must address the issues of cheating and drugs in order to maintain credibility.

in the UK in terms of content and the nature of the speakers (from all parts of the sports industry)”
