For more than a decade, Mayer Brown has, in its traditionally discreet way, represented a host of clients in the sports, entertainment and media industries. The Sports, Entertainment & Media practice group includes more than a dozen lawyers who have tried and won significant lawsuits for sports, entertainment and media concerns in courts and arbitral tribunals throughout the United States and Europe, and advised on and closed significant transactions involving a variety of sports, entertainment and media-related assets. In addition, the group provides counseling on a wide range of issues to sports federations and governing bodies, sports teams, athletes and agents, media companies, musicians, artists and publishers.

The group brings an inter-disciplinary and international approach to our representation of sports, entertainment and media clients, calling upon our extensive worldwide resources not only in litigation but in such disciplines as intellectual property, corporate, securities, banking and finance, securitization, governmental relations and other fields whenever appropriate to deliver expert, efficient and cost-effective solutions to our clients' problems.
