Sathya S. Gosselin Ranked Among Lexology Index’s Top Sports and Gaming Lawyers in 2024

Lexology Index (formerly Who’s Who Legal) has named Sathya S. Gosselin, partner in Washington, D.C., to its prestigious list of “recommended” lawyers in the sports and gaming sector (“Lexology Index Sports & Gaming – USA”) for 2024. The report identifies extraordinary and accomplished lawyers who advise clients active in sports, gaming, leisure, and gambling, in addition to providing commercial and regulatory advice. Fewer than 100 U.S. lawyers received this recognition in 2024.

Sathya is an acclaimed high-stakes litigator with nearly two decades of experience in antitrust, commercial, and sports and entertainment litigation. He advises a diverse roster of clients across numerous industries, helping each navigate complex litigation and achieve dispute resolution. Sathya prides himself on his hands-on approach to litigation, working with select teams to secure favorable results at the trial and appellate levels and deliver outstanding client service.

Among his notable representations, Sathya represents residential- and commercial-subscriber plaintiffs in In re National Football League’s Sunday Ticket Antitrust Litigation. Sathya served as trial counsel on behalf of plaintiffs alleging that the National Football League and its teams violated the antitrust laws through media-rights agreements that suppressed the output of, and raised the price for, out-of-market game telecasts. At the conclusion of a four-week trial, the jury returned a verdict for the plaintiffs and awarded $4.7 billion in damages (subject to a subsequent ruling on a motion for judgment as a matter of law and now on appeal).

Sathya also scored a historic victory at trial and on appeal for college athletes in the landmark O’Bannon v. NCAA antitrust litigation, which resulted in permanent injunctive relief and billions of dollars in benefits (in perpetuity) for college athletes. The O’Bannon litigation sparked a national dialogue about equity in college sports that continues to this day.
