Contracts

Dealing with contract negotiations for the first time can be a daunting prospect, especially if you are talking to national and international marketing and media companies.

Obtaining professional legal advice before you sign any agreement or contract ensures that your interests are protected in the short term and the long term. An experienced solicitor will be able to spot any restrictive clauses or terms and conditions that could limit your future earning potential or curb your ambitions in another way.

Many contracts in the world of sport and entertainment can include specific conditions that individuals may not fully understand. There is then a risk of them being sued if they inadvertently breach these terms. Obtaining professional legal advice at the outset can spare you distressing and expensive complications later in your career.

The service I received from the solicitor I was dealing with was friendly, personal and I always felt that they were prepared to go the extra mile to fight my corner for me.``
