01 / The practice
Independent advice.
Personal attention.
I am Dachi Peradze, a sports and football lawyer based in Tbilisi, Georgia. My practice serves athletes, clubs, agents and sports organisations seeking advice on contracts, disputes, commercial arrangements and sporting regulations.
My football law practice covers playing contracts, transfers, agent agreements, unpaid salaries and disputes before FIFA and CAS, subject to the relevant jurisdictional requirements.
Whether you are considering a new agreement or facing a dispute, I examine the facts, the applicable rules and the consequences of each available course of action.
I assess each instruction personally and remain your point of contact as the matter develops. My advice is candid, my recommendations are reasoned, and the scope of the work is agreed with you from the outset.

Advice that reflects
the whole matter.
A sporting decision can have contractual, commercial and regulatory consequences. I consider them together, so that a solution to one issue does not create difficulty elsewhere.

- Athlete & employment agreements
- Representation & agency agreements
- Transfers, loans & termination terms
02Disputes & arbitration
I advise on contractual disputes, unpaid remuneration and termination, including matters before FIFA and the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) where the relevant jurisdictional requirements are met. I assess the evidence, admissibility and procedural deadlines before recommending a course of action.

- Commercial partnership negotiations

- Representation agreement review & drafting
