When it comes to major sporting events and the sports sector generally, there are a variety of ways that intellectual property rights could be infringed. So what can in-house sporting legal teams do to mitigate the risk of infringement?
In this podcast episode, our IP lawyers provide useful hints and tips on implementing brand protection strategies, understanding sponsorship relationships, marketing, and enforcement of intellectual property rights.
They share their first-hand experiences having worked for the Birmingham 2022 Commonwealth Games as in-house legal support, as well as providing sport branding legal advice to event organisers, sports brands, sponsors and other rights holders in private practices, looking at the opportunities and common challenges legal teams are facing in the sporting world.

As legal advisers to the public sector, we are seeing a general uptick in the number of procurements that we are being asked to support upon which relate to digitalisation programmes. Digitalisation can unlock a number of efficiencies and has the ability to modernise how Government works.
In our new podcast series focusing on digitalisation within the public sector, our lawyers take you through key topics of digitalisation and difficulties that may arise for those working in the public sector to equip you with the knowledge to deal with technology-based procurements.
In this first episode, Jocelyn Paulley, partner in our IT and Outsourcing team, takes you through the basics of digitalisation; what it is, and the benefits and different types of contracts related to technology.
