WHAT WE HELP WITH
Sponsorships & Endorsements: how we help.
A focused scope built around your plans, the documents involved and the decisions that need to be made.
Campaign deliverables
Specify appearances, posts, content, deadlines and other promised activity in a workable schedule.
Category exclusivity
Review restrictions on competing partnerships and how the relevant category is described.
Content and image usage
Define where and how content, names and images may be used, edited or reused.
Payment and cancellation
Consider payment milestones, postponement, cancellation and the treatment of completed work.
WHEN YOU NEED A LAWYER
Common situations we support.
A decision is approaching
A brand partnership is being negotiated around an athlete, event or creative personality.
A commercial opportunity arrives
An offer involves appearances, performance or image rights. Check the proposed commitments against existing sporting arrangements.
Several agreements overlap
Professional, management and sponsor commitments may affect the same dates, permissions or commercial categories.
The arrangement changes
A proposed renewal, cancellation or change in deliverables calls for a review of the terms already agreed.
THE DETAIL BEHIND THE DECISION
Understand the bigger picture.
A sponsorship is a defined exchange of value: a brand provides support or payment and expects appearances, content, association or other rights in return. Unclear expectations can become difficult once a campaign is underway. We help document deliverables, approvals and permissions so the agreement reflects the intended partnership, including what happens if plans change.
How are changes and approvals handled?
A clear process helps avoid a missed deadline becoming a disagreement about responsibility.

About our firm →FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Your questions,
answered.
Can you represent a brand as well as talent?
An enquiry can come from either side, subject to conflicts and the agreed engagement. The firm must be clear about whose interests it is advising.
Should social content usage be addressed separately?
The agreement should distinguish the content to be created from the permission to use it. Paid promotion, editing and reuse may need specific attention.
What if the event or campaign is cancelled?
The answer depends on the agreement and circumstances. We can review proposed cancellation provisions or assess the terms already agreed.
What should I prepare for the first discussion?
Share the campaign brief, proposed deliverables, channels and duration of use. Start with an outline; the team will confirm a suitable channel before requesting sensitive documents.
How are scope, fees and timing agreed?
The work depends on the documents, complexity and decisions involved. We discuss the proposed scope, fees and timing before beginning. Work outside the agreed scope is discussed separately; no fixed fee or completion date is promised here.
Does an enquiry mean the firm is acting for me?
No. The firm must assess the enquiry, check whether it can accept instructions and confirm engagement. Please do not send highly confidential information or assume a deadline has been accepted before that confirmation.
