In short
Envision Legal acts for athletes, creators, producers, musicians, agents and agencies on the commercial side of sport, media and entertainment — talent, sponsorship, production and IP contracts — for a fixed fee agreed upfront.
Careers and businesses in sport, media and entertainment run on contracts: who owns the work, who can use a name and image, who gets paid and when, and what happens if something goes wrong. We act nationally, for fixed fees, with senior lawyers only.
Who we act for
- Athletes and their agents — playing, sponsorship and endorsement agreements, image rights and image-use licences. See athlete contracts and combat sports and MMA.
- Talent, managers and agencies — representation and management agreements. See talent management and representation.
- Film, TV and video producers — production, crew, location, cast and distribution agreements, and chain of title for IP.
- Musicians and creators — recording, licensing, collaboration, brand-deal and platform arrangements.
- Clubs, events and promoters — event, venue, sponsorship, ticketing and supplier terms.
- Brands and marketing agencies — influencer, endorsement and content agreements, with agreed advertising-disclosure responsibilities. See social media marketing.
