Ebadat Law

Ebadat Law has carved out a niche as a leading US-based adviser to American investors entering European football ownership. Led by managing partner Soheil Ebadat in Houston, the team guides funds, family offices, and independent sponsors through the acquisition, sale, and structuring of stakes in European clubs, coordinating closely with local counsel across multiple jurisdictions. Recent highlights include advising Blue Crow Sports Group on its acquisition of Ligue 1's Le Havre Athletic Club and its subsequent sale of a controlling stake in La Liga side CD Leganés, and representing Channel Football Group on its investment in Sheffield Wednesday. The practice also handled a Czech league-rights restructuring involving MFK Vyškov and advised a US consortium on an advanced bid for Serie A's A.C. Monza, underscoring its fluency in the regulatory and governance issues distinct to cross-border club transactions. The practice's work is largely transactional, with football-focused deal execution as its principal strength.
