Noble represents the interests of professional and amateur sports athletes and organisations with a full range of legal services designed specifically for the sports industry.
Sports law encompasses both autonomous and state-created rules regarding the variety of economic, social, commercial, cultural and political aspects of sporting activities.
This regulation may take the form of autonomous self-regulation, e.g. by national and international associations of sport or general legislative provisions that apply to sporting activities.
The trend towards more professionalism in sport and the growing economic, social and cultural relevance of sport, have resulted in an ever increasing applicability of regulations embodied in general legislation.
These regulations include, for example, certain aspects of criminal law, tort, employment law, commercial law, tax law and procurement law.
The laws that apply to sporting organisations and individuals are becoming more complex and in recognition of this trend Noble has developed a dedicated sports law unit to provide the right advice.
