Proskauer Rose LLP

Proskauer advises clients in sports, asset management, healthcare, life sciences, media and entertainment, and hospitality and leisure. Its sports practice has a history extending over six decades and serves both sports organizations and investors, including institutional investors, family offices, and private equity participants. The work combines commercial transactions with labor and disputes capabilities.

Its sports services include acquisitions, financing, stadium and arena negotiations, media joint ventures, collective bargaining, and litigation or arbitration. Lawyers also address intellectual property, content distribution, sponsorship and naming rights, licensing, insurance coverage, and sports betting. These matters cover many of the legal relationships behind the operation of a sports business.

For students, Proskauer's sports practice demonstrates how industry specialization can span several conventional legal disciplines. Financing a team, negotiating a media agreement, and resolving a labor dispute involve different skills and counterparties. The firm's broader industry practices offer additional settings in which those transactional and contentious capabilities are applied.
