Sports and Entertainment

Quebec is at a pivotal moment in the world of sports and entertainment: the launch of new professional leagues, particularly women’s leagues; the hosting of major international events; and the growth of digital content and the video game industry. This rapid transformation, driven by the emergence of new platforms and business models, brings legal challenges that require advice tailored to the realities of the industry.  

Our Support in the Sports and Entertainment Area 

Our teams assist sports organizations, event and venue managers, entertainment promoters, telecommunications companies, marketing and advertising agencies, creative studios, and players in the creative and media sectors. We advise them on negotiating contracts, reviewing regulations and policies, protecting their copyrights and other intellectual property assets, and managing their governance. 

We also advise and represent athletes, coaches, and sports organizations in a variety of disputes arising in the sports community, including those related to team selection, accreditation, eligibility, doping, and abuse. These cases are handled in accordance with the appeal procedures set forth in the internal policies of sports teams and federations, as well as the Canadian Code for the Resolution of Sports Disputes issued by the Sport Dispute Resolution Centre of Canada (SDRCC). 

We also support them in disciplinary matters specific to the sports and entertainment industry, particularly before bodies such as the SDRCC or the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission.
