Sports Law In 2023 – Key Issues To Watch In North America
Sports Group Partner Christopher R. Chase speaks with LawInSport on the sports law issues to watch out for in 2023. Christopher contributes his thoughts on student-athlete name, image, and likeness laws, rules and contracts:
“The continued refinement of student-athlete name, image, and likeness laws, rules, and even contracts will be worth watching in 2023.
