Sports Law

Sports Law governs the legal aspects of the sports industry—including contracts, sponsorships, athlete rights, doping regulations, media rights, and dispute resolution. At TMS Law Associates, we offer legal representation and advisory services to athletes, sports federations, clubs, event organizers, and sports-based businesses.

India’s sports law landscape is shaped by a combination of constitutional provisions, civil and criminal laws, and the regulatory framework of national and international sports bodies such as the BCCI, IOA, WADA, NADA, FIFA, and the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS).

We assist clients with athlete agreements, disciplinary actions, sponsorship deals, broadcasting rights, league formation, and sports-related litigation.
