Highlights from 2016

The International Forum on Sports Law, celebrated its inaugural year last December. The Forum brought together an exclusive gathering of elite-level private practice sports lawyers representing the interests of athletes, teams, leagues, associations, governing bodies, sponsors and broadcasters from around the world. 

 The Forum saw representation from 32 organizations across 14 countries. Watch the video below to hear what your peers said about their experience at the Forum:

"An unparalleled opportunity to meet and learn from some of the world’s foremost sports lawyers. The Forum has been inspiring, not merely informative. It has given me fresh ideas for the development of my practice. The Forum format allows ideas/opinions to be immediately tested and, sometimes, enhanced by illustrations from the extensive experience of delegates. This is the first conference in 10 years I have attended without being a speaker. I have learned more in 36 hours than I would normally ever do."
