SPORTS LAW
SPORTS LAW
Sports Law isn't about a specific branch of law, it's completely the opposite. It's a cross-wise concept that touches almost every branch of tradition law such as Tort Law, Commercial Law, Labour Law, Criminal Law, Tax Law, etc. We can't forget that all of them live in the same ecosystem with public and private laws with national and international status.
WHAT DO WE OFFER
For example, imagine the case of a player who has been fired without fair cause: his/her sponsorship agreement, image rights, salaries owed by a club in bankruptcy, Moreover, the case of a player with a positive anti-doping test or, giving the case, being sanctioned without playing a certain number of matches. In all of these cases, there will be no branch of law which won't be affected by any of these examples. Therefore, there is a need of counting with a specialised team which is able to offer you legal security in this unstoppable industry which possesses a specific character. Overall, we can't forget about the national and international federal level as well as the possibility of alternative resolution of conflicts before the Sports Arbitration Court (SAC).
