Sports law

10 years

consulting sports organisations, sportspeople and agents, coaches and legal matters trainers on relations with regulatory bodies and settlement of legal disputes

For over 10 years, the ART DE LEX team has been consulting sports organisations, sportspeople and agents, coaches and legal matters trainers on relations with regulatory bodies and settlement of legal disputes. The expertise accumulated in this area enables us to speak with confidence of creation of a special line in our law business – legal practice on sport.

The social component has always been important for ART DE LEX, so projects in the area of sports are of particular interest for us. ART DE LEX places a priority on fostering sport culture promotion.

As always in our team, we focus on those areas where legal regulation is insufficient, confusing and unclear.

Alongside with our flagship line – judicial defence – we are offering efficient support for sports organisations business processes. We consult and support clients in sports accreditation procedures,  provide support in transfers, protect sportspeople in complicated law situations at the RFU Dispute Resolution Chamber, represent interests at the Ministry of Sport and the Ministry of Justice of Russia, work closely with international non-government organisations.

The sphere of our competence comprises documentation of relationships with sportspeople, clubs and  competition deal structuring, as well as resolution of issues resulting from sponsorship and labour contracts.

Among our clients are all-Russia and regional sports federations, football clubs, sports agents and sports schools.

The Pravo.ru-300 rating of law firms for many years in a row has recognized the group team as the leader in the area of legal support of disputes. Group attorneys and lawyers are commended by the international ratings The Legal 500 and Best Lawyers.
