Here’s some news we’ve been sitting on - Game Legal acted for and advised series co-creator, Octagon Australia, on the production of ‘RIVALS’.
This Sunday on FoxSports and Kayo, the age-old question of which is Australia’s ultimate sporting code gets an answer in the concluding episode of the new sports entertainment TV series, RIVALS -
The hard-working and creatively brilliant team of awesome people at Octagon Australia developed a fantastic project for their client. Well done, sincere admiration, and thanks go to the Octagon team. Many thanks again for your trust and teamwork - thank you also for your very kind testimonial.
While Australian audiences have consumed media over decades featuring athletes competing individually or in leagues and teams, RIVALS brings together professional male and female athletes from Australian rules football, rugby league, and rugby union to compete as teams representing their sporting codes across a series of challenges designed in consultation with the Australian Institute of Sport (AIS).
This project for this client was the sweet spot of what I’ve been working on in the law for well over a decade. The work involved a case study of media agreements, sporting contracts, and a range of other issues. As a full service sport and media lawyer, I even packed 17 AFL footy balls in my luggage and hand delivered them to the set on location at Hamilton Island.
It was also great to work with the various project partners, suppliers, and of course the athletes and their agents.
