Beyond the realms of dispute settlement, parties require legal consultancy in the process of drafting and strategically negotiating and executing sports related contracts as well as transactions. Legal advice is specifically sought in the termination of contracts, the transfer of rights and complex transactions, from player and staff transfers – including eligibility issues and questions relating to training compensation – to restructurings of associations or clubs. With sound legal expertise and our strategic approach to negotiations in sports, our clients successfully safeguard their interests no matter how tough the going might get.
