Sports Law: Fernando Veiga Gomes advocates for a multidisciplinary approach in a growing sector
Fernando Veiga Gomes, partner at Abreu Advogados, emphasises that the practice of Sports Law requires a multidisciplinary legal team, given the cross-cutting and complex nature of this area.
In a statement to Advocatus, he highlighted that at Abreu Advogados, “we have a team that includes lawyers with experience in employment, litigation, intellectual property and image rights, tax, M&A, who contribute their expertise to solving the issues that arise.”
In a context of significant growth in the sector in Portugal, Fernando Veiga Gomes identifies business opportunities linked to the reform of the regulatory model in Portugal, the rise of e-sports, the hosting of major events, and the global trend of Multi-Club Ownership.
The lawyer also discusses the importance of dispute prevention, considers the level of specialisation required to be a major challenge, and admits that there is still “a long way to go” in terms of legislation in Portugal.
