Tailored eSports Legal Solutions in Germany

Over the last decade, the world of eSports has become one of the fastest-growing industries in the world. This phenomenon is accentuated further in Asia, where some of the best professional eSports players reside and compete. Some of the most popular eSports players there have public profiles as prominent as those of western celebrities. In Europe, eSports are growing at a tremendous rate, with leading sports clubs, prominent athletes and large companies now significantly involved in the world of eSports.

Following its incredible success and popularity, the professionalization of the eSports industry was a logical step. However, the process of professionalization has also been accompanied by increased legal issues such as player employment contracts, sponsorship agreements and a professional approach to payments, social security and employment conditions in general.
