Technology & Digital Strategy for Clubs

Technology is now part of the daily operation of professional football clubs. Scouting platforms, performance analytics, wearable devices, medical data, ticketing systems, CRM tools, fan engagement platforms, AI-based products and digital content solutions can create real value, but they also raise legal, regulatory, commercial and operational risks.

We advise clubs on the legal and commercial aspects of adopting, licensing and implementing technology solutions. Our work includes reviewing technology agreements, data and IP rights, software licenses, platform partnerships, AI-related tools, performance and scouting systems, fan engagement products, smart venue solutions and digital rights arrangements.

We help clubs assess whether a proposed technology solution is contractually clear, operationally useful, legally protected and compliant with applicable rules. This includes issues such as data ownership, athlete data, privacy, GDPR, confidentiality, supplier liability, service levels, termination rights, integration risks and commercial use of club or player content.

We also assist clubs in partnerships with sports-tech companies, sponsors, leagues and rights-holders, ensuring that innovation is supported by proper contracts, clear responsibilities and adequate protection against regulatory and commercial exposure.

The firm combines legal expertise, football industry experience and commercial understanding, helping clubs use technology strategically while protecting their data, rights, operations and long-term interests.
