SPORTS AND ENTERTAINMENT

We have been acting as a legal counsel for athletes (e.g. professional soccer or baseball players, boxers), coaches or managers belonging to professional sports teams. We have been representing, in a number of cases, such athletes who play domestically or overseas in contract negotiation and/or legal dispute to protect of their right including intellectual property rights such as publicity rights, trademark rights, copyrights, and image rights. Also, in the field of the entertainment industry, we provide legal services to help contract negotiation for planning and production of TV commercial or other advertising contents and for the media appearances of artists and, in some occasions, resolve subsequent disputes. We also offer legal assistance to media and digital content providers for their website operations as well as to music and video distribution businesses in general.
