DLA Piper

Plus d’information
The DLA Piper team is an ‘excellent choice’ for major leagues, media companies and national governing bodies, frequently assisting with sports-related commercial partnership rights, media rights regulation and complex copyright litigation. Nick Fitzpatrick and Paul Gray co-lead the practice, with the former primarily specialising in brand exploitation and event organisation, while the latter is an expert in sports finance transactions. John Wilks covers IP matters within the sports and media spheres, Jon Kenworthy is an experienced M&A practitioner, and Samuel Churney is also noted. The practice was boosted in the spring of 2024 by the arrival of a team from Armstrong Teasdale, including Zane Shihab and James Thorndyke.
