Esports Sponsorship Contracts:

Endorsement deals can be a fantastic revenue source for professional players. But be warned: sponsorship deals can also be obscenely restrictive, profit-stealing nightmares if not done correctly.

Before any esports contract is signed, it is in the interest of athletes and teams to consult with an experienced esports lawyer. An attorney with an eye for legal trickery can pick apart the document to ensure you’re getting a fair, solid deal.

Marketing Regulations for Esports Sponsorships:

When promoting any products or services, esports players and teams should be aware of marketing laws. Saying the wrong thing or failing to disclose material relationships could lead to penalties or even an FTC lawsuit. Invest in an advertising compliance review to avoid these legal headaches!

NIL Rights for Esports Players

Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL) rights are an extremely valuable asset for esports players. Whether you’re ready to sign onto a team or considering a sponsorship deal, you need an esports lawyer with experience in this niche.

Collegiate esports athletes now have the opportunity to benefit from their NIL rights. Our team is well-versed in NIL compliance, helping esports players navigate the new regulations and maximize their earning potential while maintaining their NCAA eligibility. We’ll guide you through the entire process, from understanding the rules and limitations to reviewing and negotiating your NIL deals.

Effective business contracts must be clearly defined and enforceable. In the world of esports, that means laying out:

• Equipment agreements
• Payment amounts and payment schedules
• Insurance issues
• Sponsorship and endorsement parameters
• Conduct expectations
• Schedule expectations
• NIL (Name, Image, and Likeness) rights
