LawInSport is a knowledge hub, educational platform and global community of people working in or with an interest in sport and the law. Our objective is to help people ‘understand the rules of the game™’. WHAT DOES THIS MEAN? It means people in sport having access to information that enables them to have a better understanding the rules and regulations that govern the relationships, behaviours and processes within sports. This in turn creates a foundation based on the principles of the rule of law, protecting the rights of everyone working and participating in sport. WHY IS THIS IMPORTANT? Whether it is an individual or an organisation we believe everyone benefits from effective rule of law. It creates: - Legal certainty; - Better governance models; - A more investible environment for sports from both the public and private sectors; - A safer competitive and professional environment for sport; - A sports sector in which people can focus on playing and enjoying sport; and - Reduces unnecessary distraction caused by opaque legal and regulatory systems. WHAT DOES THIS MEAN IN PRACTICE? We work with our members and the wider stakeholders in the sports, business and legal communities to bring stakeholders together to share high quality, accessible and accurate legal information and create an environment that encourages a better understanding of the law and the regulatory framework in sport and practices. WHAT WE DO We produce and publish peer-reviewed legal articles, podcasts and videos as well as organise and host networking events, seminars, webinars and conferences. We also have a recruitment division that is dedicated to matching the best candidates with the best opportunities in sports law. See more detailed overview here: https://www.lawinsport.com/about-us
