Global Head of Private Equity Marco Masotti spoke with the Financial News about Paul, Weiss’s fast-growing sports practice, the firm’s role as the official law firm of the New York/New Jersey World Cup 2026 Host Committee and his own experience at the intersection of business and sports.
In the article, “Inside Paul, Weiss’s World Cup Sponsorship Deal,” published on June 16, Marco says that the firm’s decision to create a dedicated sports department reflects a “maturation of the business” following years of leading landmark sports transactions and representing sports clients, including FIFA and others, in high-stakes litigation and investigations matters. Marco also notes that, as private equity investments in the sports world have surged to record levels, having strong sports industry connections is incredibly valuable to these clients.
