International Sports Law

Global careers demand global contracts. We advise athletes, clubs and agents on transfers, contracts and international mobility.

How we can help you.

An athlete's career often crosses borders — and each transfer brings contracts, visas, tax matters and federation rules that must be perfectly aligned.
