THE FIRM
More than 20 years
of experience
The firm is dedicated to satisfying the demands of football players, agents, clubs, sports associations, investors, sponsors, and companies that work in the football market.
Through individualised assessment, we provide advisory, legal opinions, corporate and tax planning for our clients. In addition to negotiated solutions, the firm is well known for its background on litigation and settling conflicts in contractual, commercial, and disciplinary disputes.
Many disputes arise from the interpretation or inaccurate application of sports regulations. Our team is prepared to provide services in several legal scenarios, considering the absence of standard regulation texts, the peculiarity of football, and the application of each country’s legislation, allied to the Firm’s vast experience in previous cases.
Our lawyers have more than 20 years of experience in Sports Law, providing services to clubs and players around the world, in Europe, Americas, Asia and the Middle East. Our specialised and multidisciplinary team uses English, French, Spanish, Portuguese and Arabic as working languages.
Our Mission
Our goal is to offer our clients reliable, creative and efficient legal solutions, preventing future disputes.
We set our efforts on settling the matter through negotiation and alternative dispute resolution mechanisms, providing our clients with swift and reliable solutions.
When litigation is inevitable, the client has our commitment to professional excellence and work ethics, with well-established experience in arbitration, both as members of panels and representing parties.
