Overview
Event Details
Mega sporting events like the 2026 FIFA World Cup and 2028 Los Angeles Olympic Games rank among the world's premiere commercial and cultural stages, offering business opportunities for companies and corporate sponsors. But their scale, global visibility, and prestige can present legal risks when those events are not carefully managed.
On Wednesday, October 14, join members of Steptoe's Investigations, White-Collar & Compliance practice and other General Counsel, Chief Compliance Officers, and senior leaders from corporate sponsors and other industry actors for a discussion of the legal and compliance risks in connection with mega sporting events covering broad perspectives.
