Sports & Entertainment

At the highest levels of competition and performance, success is never accidental. It is built on experience, precision, and the ability to see what others miss.

Sports and entertainment ventures bring together complex legal, business, marketing, advertising, and regulatory considerations that rarely fit within a single legal discipline. Matters in this space often unfold under intense commercial, political, and public scrutiny. Whether you are developing a venue, financing a project, managing operations, expanding a brand, commercializing and protecting content, navigating a regulatory challenge, negotiating agreements, investigating conduct or resolving a dispute, FBT Gibbons can bring the right disciplines together around your goal. We focus on practical solutions that protect our clients' objectives, reputation, and long-term value.

Our lawyers advise teams, investors, leagues, associations, athletes, brands, sponsors, venue owners and operators, public authorities, universities, rights holders, investors, developers, promoters, music companies, publishers, artists, live entertainment businesses, and agencies.

We understand the demands of businesses that depend on content, distinctive brands, engaged audiences, talent relationships, and highly visible and valuable physical assets. Our team helps clients move projects and strategies forward by combining the capabilities they need across a wide range of practices areas with a deep understanding of the sectors in which they operate. We provide coordinated advice grounded in industry experience and commercial judgment.
