The sports industry is facing growth in this decade that has not been seen in Spain since the Barcelona Olympics in 1992 for various reasons, highlighting the entry of investment funds into Business and the digital transformation that Clubs and Sports Properties are carrying out. This increase in business volume and changes in its pillars pose unprecedented challenges for Sports Law professionals, challenges that affect the Legal Framework of the Football and Sports Industry, in addition to generating a significant demand for employment and updating of current professionals. A tangible example is The League Impulso, a strategic project of The league, through which the investment fund CVC, a reference partner with extensive experience in the sports industry, injects close to 2,000 million euros to undertake growth and consolidation projects from the point of view of sporting and business point of view.
New and current Sports Law professionals need specific preparation, since in the sports industry we find unique cases that are not shared with other sectors. The league, with the creation of The League Business School, decided to innovate in education, removing intermediaries in the form of universities or business schools, and decided to train first-hand future professionals who have to face the challenges that the sports industry poses, putting at the service of students the expertise, knowledge, networking, and ability to search for internships/jobs that an institution like The league can offer you.
With the Master in Law applied to Professional Football, the objective of The league Business School is to train future professionals in those key aspects to provide The league itself, its Clubs, and specialized Human Capital Firms prepared in the legal areas with the greatest demand and for the challenges that will have to be faced in the near future of the sports industry. The Master’s faculty is made up of professionals from The league, from the Clubs, and from the most recognized specialized Law Firms, people who master the fields of application of Law in the world of football. Thus, they know the training needs that are required to function in practice or the specific knowledge that the sector demands.
The most relevant point of strength of the Master in Law applied to Professional Football is the direct employability that it offers its students since the objective and interest of The league is the labor insertion of the talent pool that it develops each season. The students have 6 months of Guaranteed internships provided directly by LaLiga Business School, appropriate to their qualities, to cover the needs of Clubs, companies, and law firms that are in constant communication with The league to incorporate new profiles into their ranks.
The result is a high percentage of student recruitment after the completion of their internships. By way of example, we can mention the alumni who are working in the league Presidency Office, in Clubs such as Real Betis, Real Zaragoza, Getafe CF, Rayo Vallecano, Granada CF, Elche CF, Deportivo Alaves, the best-specialized offices (Ruiz-Huerta & Crespo, Senn Ferrero, Nebot & Paez Abogados, BDO, Pinto Ruiz & del Valle, Laffer Abogados) and other national and international sports entities (Liga MX, National Futsal League, World Football Summit, You First Sports ), etc.
