The Academy of Leadership Sciences Switzerland concluded its Esports Law Course for the second time. With the growth of the Esports industry worldwide, the demand for specialized legal expertise has never been higher.

Lecturer Bryan Boo, expert with extensive experience in Esports law, provided valuable insights into the course’s success and its importance for professional growth.
“This Esports law course was designed not only to introduce delegates to the differences and intricacies of Esports law but also to equip delegates with the skills and knowledge to navigate through this growing and maturing area of law”, explained Boo.

Boo emphasized the critical role of specialized education in addressing the unique legal challenges inherent in Esports.
“Esports law is a dynamic and rapidly evolving area of practice, Traditional legal principles often fall short when applied to the intricacies of Esports, which is why specialized education is crucial for professionals seeking to excel in this field. The lecturers in the Esports law course are persons with vast experience in various aspects of Esports law. Some have advised player contracts, license agreements and team sponsorship contracts, some are involved in Esports governing bodies while others have experience in tournament-related matters such as drafting rules and regulations as well as dispute resolution.
