Sports Law

Sports-Related Transactions

Gross McGinley’s attorneys thrive in complex commercial transactions, sports facility leasing licensing, and sports-related real estate development. We are here to assist athletes, sports organizations, athletic institutions, real estate developers, lenders, and many more.

Organizational Governance & Formation

Whether you are starting a new sports venture or you are looking to ensure you are in regulatory compliance, we are here to help. We’ll assist you in forming your non-profit, limited liability company, corporation, or partnership, to help minimize personal liability exposure and maximize tax benefits for your athletic organization.

Name, Image, and Likeness (“NIL”)

When finalizing an endorsement or sponsorship deal under NIL rules, it is critical to secure a deal that will benefit your long-term future. Contracts may have requirements that restrict your earning potential and other aspects of your current or future life. We will work with you, one on one, to identify what is most important to you and negotiate NIL contracts that best protect your personal goals.

Waiver and Liability Forms

Our team of attorneys draft, review, analyze and negotiate waivers, releases, and liability forms on behalf of our student-athletes, corporate, and franchise clients.

Contract Formation/Advising

We utilize a “team” approach to contract preparation and advising, enabling our sports law attorneys to deliver comprehensive agreements that clearly set forth each party’s obligations.

Contract Negotiation

While the contract negotiation process can be challenging, our sports law attorneys will guide you through the process and ensure that the final product is representative of your best interests.

Premises Liability Litigation

Premises liability matters can generally be described as personal injury cases based on the negligence of a property owner in failing to use reasonable care in connection with his or her property. In relation to the sports world, premises liability matters often arise due to injuries arising from defective conditions at stadiums or facilities or other potential injuries which may occur while attending or participating in a sporting event.

Sports Injury Litigation

If you want to pursue your options for filing a sports injury lawsuit and receive the best possible recovery, Gross McGinley is the preeminent choice to be on your side in litigation.
