Louis Lehot and Lyman Thai Explore Growing Investment Interest in Sports

Foley & Lardner LLP partners Louis Lehot and Lyman Thai authored the Westlaw Today article, “A look at the market for sports and sports tech in 2024,” exploring the market for mergers and acquisitions in the sports industry.

Lehot and Thai write that while the overall M&A market has faced recent economic headwinds, some areas look stronger than others, including the sports market. The authors discuss recent movement in sports from major institutional players, targeted investments in the sports and sports technology industries, and key insights from a recent Deloitte report that anticipates continued investment interest in women’s sports, among other areas.

“The international love for sports is only growing, and investors will undoubtedly continue to target this segment,” Lehot and Thai conclude.
