As a law firm with a broad worldwide experience in sports law, it is only natural that we would want to be involved in Sportaccord, especially given that this year’s host city is our own home city of Denver. Sportaccord is the premier sports networking event in the world. My colleagues and I at HRO look forward to a packed program of conference events and the opportunity to meet once again with all our friends and contacts in the Sportaccord community.”
