Joseanne Bear and I recently contributed to the most latest edition of the Sports Law and Taxation journal.
Our contribution, which can be read in full here, takes a look at the Metaverse, how it is changing the sporting world and the consequential legal issues that may arise.

The full journal carries articles relating to Switzerland, South Africa, Turkey, Spain, The Netherlands and the United Kingdom. Interested parties can subscribe to the journal here.
