Event Overview

The International Business Law (+ Sports Law) Commission of the International Association of Young Lawyers (AIJA) is proud to present an insightful online event focusing on the intricate relationship between collective bargaining and competitive dynamics within major U.S. sports leagues. This session will delve into how the agreements negotiated between player unions and league managements profoundly impact everything from player salaries and free agency rules to draft systems and revenue sharing, ultimately shaping the landscape of competition on and off the field.

Join us for a deep dive into the legal and economic frameworks that govern professional sports in the United States. Our expert speakers will explore case studies from leagues such as the NBA, NFL, MLB, and NHL, dissecting how collective bargaining agreements (CBAs) are structured and their far-reaching consequences on team building, parity, and the overall fan experience. This is a unique opportunity to understand the sophisticated interplay of law, business, and sport.

This live 45-minute event, including a dedicated Q&A session, is a must-attend for legal professionals, sports enthusiasts, and anyone interested in the confluence of labor law and the global sports industry. Gain invaluable perspectives on the challenges and innovations within collective bargaining that drive competitive balance and economic sustainability in some of the world's most prominent sports organizations. Register now to secure your spot and enhance your understanding of this critical aspect of sports law.
