01
Assess the role and environment
We clarify the sport, league, contractual counterparty, country, timeline and career objectives.
EXPERTISE · SPORTS LAW
Structuring sports contracts with the entire career in mind.
We review, draft and negotiate contracts for players, athletes and other stakeholders. Sporting obligations, remuneration, health, image rights, termination and proceedings are considered together.
How can we support you?
A first professional contract is pending
The role, obligations, remuneration and long-term commitment should be understandable.
What we do for you
Clearly defined services.
Contract review
We identify key obligations, risks, options and points for negotiation.
Contract drafting
We draft clear agreements on performance, remuneration, conduct and term.
Bonuses & premiums
We structure conditions, calculation, due date and proof.
Health & incapacity
We regulate examination, treatment, insurance, remuneration and return.
Termination & disputes
We advise on options, termination, release, breach of contract and proceedings.
MORE THAN ONE SEASON
A contractual clause can shape a career for longer than a sporting result.
We do not merely examine whether a contract is legally permissible. What matters is how it operates in relation to performance, injury, transfer, conflict and career development.
