On a recent Price of Business, Host Kevin Price visited with sports attorney Charles H. Baker.
Professional sports teams and leagues have become an increasingly popular asset class in recent years, especially with growing involvement from private equity firms, which is changing the landscape of investing in sports. Chuck Baker, co-chair of Sidley’s global Entertainment, Sports and Media Practice, discusses his role representing investors in professional sports teams, leagues, and businesses in high-profile transactions.

He recently advised on the record-breaking US$6.05 billion purchase of the NFL’s Washington Commanders, the acquisition of the NBA’s Charlotte Hornets, and the acquisition of the NWSL’s Chicago Red Stars.
