Sports, culture, and entertainment

We advise athletes, artists, and companies in the fields of culture, sports, and entertainment on all legal matters affecting their activities.

Our clients, including sports clubs and federations, event organisers and producers, the media, artists, and athletes, benefit from the advising of our multidisciplinary teams, who provide practical and comprehensive solutions to their problems and objectives.

Our team also puts its experience at the service of financial institutions, suppliers, sponsors, and rights managers for financing, supply, sponsorship, sale, and licensing operations in these sectors.

At act legal Spain, we are aware of the transformation that these sectors have undergone in recent years. The emergence of OTT platforms and technologies such as virtual reality and artificial intelligence are transforming the experience of millions of users and fans around the world. This process of technological transformation opens the door to a new way of doing things.
