About

Being the elite professional division of the Spanish football league, LaLiga has a distinguished legal team made up of twelve lawyers and two paralegals. Over the years they have a gained a reputation of having an excellent understanding of the objectives of LaLiga, and an astute business-oriented view. They are also skilled in adapting to an ever-changing and challenging environment presented by an organisation such as LaLiga. In the last two years the most important adaptation for the legal team has been the need to face the challenge of advising and assisting a very complex variety of the business needs due to the setting up of specalised areas, departments focused on the constantly changing and strategic development of LaLiga and its affiliates on both a national and international level. ‘In LaLiga, the need to match a business-oriented response of the legal team to the continuous technological evolution is essential for the success of the company and the football competition’, says legal director, María José López Lorenzo. The team has been active in working on the national and international commercialisation of the audio-visual rights of the professional football competition in a collective manner for the first time in its history. This has entailed providing support on the tender process for the commercialisation of audio-visual rights, at national, EU and international level, which requires an ex-ante assessment by the national markets and competition authority. The legal team has given legal advice on several regulatory proceedings, against major media companies, before the national markets and the competition authority with regard to the access of broadcasters to football stadiums for the purposes of short news reports. This involved the team’s assistance on the implementation of the LaLiga Global Network for the international development of LaLiga through the presence of more than 50 delegates over the world to represent the league.
