Sports & Entertainment
Careers in sports and entertainment are built on contracts — and defended in arbitration rooms most lawyers never see. We work in both.
Credentials that matter in this arena: a Global LL.M. in International Sports Law from ISDE (Madrid), certification as a FIFA Agent, and experience representing athletes and coaches before WADA, the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS), and FIFA arbitration tribunals.
For athletes & coaches
- International arbitration — disputes before WADA, CAS, and FIFA tribunals, where specialized procedure and precedent decide careers.
- Contracts and transfers — employment agreements, transfer disputes, and agent matters, handled by a certified FIFA Agent who knows the regulations from the inside.
- Endorsement deals — negotiating and papering sponsorships so the fine print protects you, not just the brand.
For entertainers & labels
- Music clearances — samples, sync, and licensing work for record labels and artists.
- Complex business litigation — when deals go wrong for entertainers and high-profile athletes, we litigate.
- Asset protection & foundations — structuring what you've earned so it lasts, including charitable foundations done right.
For clubs & organizations
We have advised football clubs in the Middle East — including Al-Wehdat (Jordan) and Al-Quwa Al-Jawiya (Iraq) — on regulatory, transfer, and contractual matters, and handled international commercial contract work in the Gulf region. If your organization needs counsel that understands both FIFA's rulebook and the region, we speak your language — literally.
Why a Houston firm?
Sports law is international by nature: hearings in Lausanne, clubs in Amman and Baghdad, brands in New York. What matters isn't the office address — it's knowing the regulations, the tribunals, and the people. That expertise now lives in Houston, with a firm small enough to give your career personal attention.
