Sports Law

In the sports world, modernization and globalization are mantras that have become references to understand and drive the changes underway. All those who follow Brazilian sport are witnesses of a profound restructuring, which has been modifying not only the forms of sport organization, but the very principles that founded the existence of clubs, tournaments and federations. This process is evident in the introduction of new management guidelines, such as the anonymous football companies (SAFs), in the review of sports legislation and in the inexorable transformation of sport into a globalized product, a media spectacle that is the main pillar of the entertainment industry.

The mega sporting events that have been held in the country in recent years and the great competitions that often take place put us at the center of attention in the world of sport and are proof that sport in Brazil is a big profitable business. Obviously, this negotiation movement gives rise to the need for specialized legal advice to allow the best legal outcome to the demands of the sector.
