Monday, 06 June 2022 By Manan Agrawal

For this week’s edition of Sports Lawyer In The Spotlight, we interviewed Kate Porter who is a partner and head of the sports practice at Vela Wood P.C. in the United States. She has represented professional sports teams and leagues, as well as national associations and organizing committees for major international events in sports-related disputes at CAS and in federation investigations.

Kate also supports various U.S. professional sports teams’ in-house counsel teams and other business units with various commercial agreements. Additionally, she provides legal and compliance counsel on promotional, ticketing, and marketing-related issues.

We sat down with Kate in April 2022 to conduct this interview. We hope you enjoy the conversation as much as we did.
