Fighter contracts, exclusivity and release clauses, commission licensing and disciplinary proceedings.
In mixed martial arts the promoter's contract governs almost everything: exclusivity, championship clauses, pay and the athlete's right to compete elsewhere.
We negotiate and dispute promotional agreements, handle commission licensing and disciplinary matters and act in anti-doping proceedings.
