Cozen O’Connor

Overview

While many firms take a niche approach to sports practice, we have built a well-balanced group that provides a full range of litigation, corporate/transactional, intellectual property, labor and employment, and other services to our sports clients. And with offices throughout the United States, as well as in Canada and the U.K., Cozen O’Connor has the capability to represent industry clients from Los Angeles to London, and beyond.
Beyond our mastery of the legal and regulatory aspects of the sports industry, Cozen O’Connor brings an extensive network of relationships to every engagement — and a deep appreciation for the power of relationships in this sprawling, but highly connected industry. Many of our practitioners have been working on behalf of sports clients for decades, so we are often able to make introductions, foster partnerships, and identify opportunities for mutual benefit. Because of this work, Cozen O’Connor is exceptionally attuned to issues of reputation and zealously protects the public image of every client.
