LAW, ECONOMICS AND GEOPOLITICS OF PROFESSIONAL SPORTS
The words are important: we are not talking about « sports law » but about real law, real economics and real geopolitical principles applied to professional sport.

Likewise, the knowledge of economic principles and geopolitical factors which apply to sport, is absolutely essential to your successful professional career in the sports industry.
We provide you with the latest and most updated knowledge and expertise of both the academic and practical insights of Law, Economics and Geopolitics applied to the professional sports industry, directly applicable to your work.
