The equine business is facing unprecedented legal and economic challenges. Drawing on our extensive experience working with racetracks, account wagering companies and boarding, training and breeding operations, as well as trainers and owners, our team brings a thorough knowledge of the equine industry to the table, enabling them to anticipate challenges and steer our clients toward solutions.
Our team is strongly-rooted in the equine industry, featuring attorneys who have helped clients in a variety of matters, including the negotiating and drafting of domestic and international simulcast agreements; the formation and structure of racing partnerships; syndication and sale of stallions and other bloodstock interests; and the acquisition and sale of numerous commercial horse farms. We also have assisted clients with account wagering licenses and hearings, racetrack issues, media contracts, merchandising, import and export matters, and litigation of all types, including racing and United States Equestrian Federation (USEF) hearings.
Our work extends outside of the racetrack and show ring, as our attorneys are frequent contributors to various publications and educational forums, including being published in Casino Enterprise Management, Casino Lawyer and Business Lexington, and being quoted in The New York Times, the Toronto Globe & Mail, The Blood-Horse, the Thoroughbred Times, and the Lexington Herald-Leader. Our team also features the chair of the National Equine Law Conference.
Our attorneys’ understanding of the industry not only provides our clients with a unique perspective, but also enables them to weigh both the short and long-term consequences of each decision. We place a premium on partnering with our clients, enabling us to work together to achieve our clients’ goals and keep them moving forward.
