Legal Help with Commercial and Equine Contracts

Schelstraete Equine Law advises, drafts, and negotiates commercial and equine contracts for businesses, private clients, athletes, stables, trainers, investors, and entrepreneurs. We advise clients across a broad range of industries and have particular experience with contractual matters in the international equestrian industry.

Our expertise includes commercial agreements, sales and purchase agreements, co-ownership structures, partnership and joint venture agreements, sponsorship agreements, breeding agreements, leases, and other national and cross-border contractual matters.

We work with clients to structure and negotiate agreements that reflect their commercial objectives and provide appropriate legal protection. Our lawyers assess proposed terms, identify potential areas of risk, and negotiate contractual provisions with the client’s broader legal and commercial interests in mind.

Our experts advise both on national and international contracts and, where appropriate, work with local counsel in the relevant jurisdictions. Our international experience with matters such as applicable law, jurisdiction, and dispute resolution enables us to identify relevant legal and commercial considerations at an early stage and incorporate appropriate protections into the contractual framework.
