Football law & advisory
Your career in football.
A sound legal footing.
I advise players considering a contract or seeking payment, clubs negotiating transfers or addressing disputes, and agents reviewing representation agreements and the obligations they create.
01Playing contracts & transfers
I review and negotiate employment, renewal and transfer terms, including remuneration, performance incentives, release clauses and termination rights. The assessment considers how these provisions operate together and where responsibility lies between the parties.
02Agent & commercial agreements
I examine representation, sponsorship and image-rights agreements beyond their headline terms. Authority, exclusivity, duration and continuing obligations deserve particular scrutiny where they could restrict a subsequent move or commercial opportunity.
03Unpaid salaries, FIFA disputes & CAS arbitration
For disputes over payment or contractual performance, and for disciplinary matters, I examine the evidence, applicable procedure and appropriate forum. For unpaid salaries, termination disputes and other matters where FIFA Football Tribunal proceedings or Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) arbitration are relevant, I assess jurisdiction, admissibility and the deadlines that must be observed.
