Globalaw Launches Sports Law Taskforce With 22 Participating Member Firms
June 2, 2025 – Globalaw, a leading network of independent law firms, announces the launch of its Sports Law Taskforce, a dedicated advisory group comprising 22 member firms that provide specialized legal counsel and representation for athletes and stakeholders worldwide.
“Legal awareness and protection are critical for professional athletes to safeguard their interests, reduce risks and unlock opportunities,” said Jonathan Cheong, a consultant at Bagus Enrico & Partners and head of the Globalaw Sports Law Taskforce. “Many sports contracts include a cross-border or multijurisdictional angle, and with new issues emerging around factors like image rights, digital media and international sponsorship deals, a trusted global legal network is indispensable to ensure athletes are protected and empowered.”
From negotiating and drafting athlete contracts, sponsorship agreements and marketing deals to providing expert counsel on intellectual property rights, endorsements, tax advice, and dispute resolution, Globalaw’s Sports Law Taskforce is equipped to handle all legal aspects of the sports industry.
