Sports Law
Games and events are won at the margins.
Sports cases and deals too.
We have spent more than a decade inside the machinery of sports disputes — from national federation hearing rooms to the Court of Arbitration for Sport in Lausanne. We know the regulations, the deadlines, and the tribunals. Not in theory — in practice.
WHO WE ACT FOR
Players. Clubs. Federations. Coaches. Agents. Players' associations. Sometimes on opposite sides of the same type of dispute — which is exactly why we understand every angle of the pitch.
In sports disputes, time decides as much as arguments — acting early can change the whole case. Has your club stopped paying your salary, sent you to train alone, or started pushing you out of the squad? Are you running a club that has just received a FIFA or BAT claim, a disciplinary notice, or an appeal deadline? Tight deadlines and high stakes are our natural daily terrain — we bring structure and calm, and we will make time for you.
Not every matter is a dispute. A transfer on the table, a first professional contract, a loan to structure, training compensation to secure? We handle the deal from term sheet to signature. The best disputes are the ones your contract already prevented.
WHAT WE DO
Contractual disputes — before FIFA Dispute Resolution Chamber, FIFA Players' Status Chamber, Basketball Arbitral Tribunal (BAT), and dispute resolution bodies of national and international federations
Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) — full representation in appeal and ordinary proceedings in Lausanne
Integrity & discipline — defence in match-fixing, integrity, and anti-doping proceedings (WADA Code and federation rules)
Contracts & deals — player contracts, transfer and loan agreements, image rights, sponsorship and endorsement deals — negotiated, structured, and signed
Player development money — training compensation, solidarity mechanism, FIFA Clearing House and Electronic Player Passport matters
Institutions — counsel to players' associations, federations and leagues on governance and collective representation
Esports — dispute resolution and regulation design for competitive gaming — an emerging field we have already presented on internationally
From a first professional contract to the enforcement of a CAS award — we cover the entire career arc.
