Sports and Competition Law
Helping organisations comply with competition law.
The Competition and Markets Authority has been very active in the sports sector in recent years, conducting investigations into the supply of replica football kits and other branded merchandise, the sale of golf clubs and the production and broadcasting of sports content. Competition law arguments are also increasingly employed in high profile sports disputes.
We can support you with
- Advising clubs how to structure their commercial arrangements to comply with the competition law rules.
- Devising tailored competition law compliance programmes and training for management and staff to reduce the risk of infringement.
- Defending against allegations of anti-competitive behaviour.
- Advising how competition law might be used to challenge other parties’ conduct in the sports sector.
