Sports Transaction Services

Club Acquisitions & Minority Stakes

We represent buyers and investors in acquisitions and minority investments in clubs across top leagues worldwide. From early conversations with sellers through signing and closing, we structure and negotiate deals that protect your economics, governance rights, and downside risk.

Multi Club Platforms

We design and implement multi club ownership structures that actually work in practice. That includes holding company design, ring fencing, regulatory strategy across leagues, and coordination with tax and local counsel so the platform can scale.

League
Approvals

We coordinate league and federation approvals, fit and proper tests, and change of control procedures. We work with local counsel and regulators to prepare submissions, manage questions, and keep the deal timeline aligned with the competition calendar.

Bid Process & Diligence

We run the legal workstream across auction processes and bilateral deals, including NDAs, access letters, bid submissions, and confirmatory diligence. Our review focuses on real risk items, from player contracts and commercial deals to stadium, regulatory, and litigation exposure.

Investment Structures & SPVs

We structure SPVs, co investor arrangements, and governance terms that align interests around the asset. That includes waterfall mechanics, management and board rights, sponsor economics, and protections for control and minority investors in a cross border setting.

Media & Sponsorship

We review and negotiate media, sponsorship, naming, and commercial rights agreements around the club asset. We focus on revenue allocation, term, exclusivity, and termination mechanics, and how those contracts interact with league and federation rules.

How we run club acquisitions.

We get involved before a full process. We help you choose the holding structure and jurisdiction, align with tax and local counsel, clean up NDAs and access letters, and shape LOIs so price, structure, and key protections are set before you spend heavily on diligence.
We concentrate on issues that change value or structure: player and staff contracts, image and IP rights, stadium and facility arrangements, local employment and insolvency risk, debt, litigation, and regulatory exposure. You get a clear risk map that feeds into your bid, structure, and choice of entity.
We negotiate the SPA and the equity documents around it, including SPVs, co investors, rollover sellers, and governance and waterfall terms that work across jurisdictions. We push for clean title, workable conditions precedent, and covenants that reflect how the club is actually run.
In parallel, we manage league and federation approvals, owners and directors tests, foreign investment and sanctions questions, and change of control filings with local counsel. We aim to align approvals with signing and closing, then handle closing mechanics, FX and funding flows, key management contracts, and first wave post closing steps.
