Our Services

Federations & Unions

At Nir Inbar Sports Law & Business, we provide comprehensive legal and strategic advisory services to national sports federations and players’ unions. As key stakeholders in the sports industry, these organizations require expert guidance in governance, compliance, revenue generation, and dispute resolution. Our mission is to help federations and unions navigate legal complexities while maximizing their commercial potential.

Supporting Sports Federations

Sports federations play a pivotal role in organizing competitions, developing talent, and ensuring fair play. Beyond governance, they drive:

• Grassroots development to foster young athletes.
• Elite-level growth through structured regulations and competitive frameworks.
• Commercial expansion via sponsorships, broadcasting, and licensing agreements.
• Sustainability and compliance with FIFA, UEFA, and national governing bodies.

We work with federations to enhance their operational and financial structures, ensuring they are legally protected while expanding their commercial footprint.

Empowering Players’ Unions

Players’ unions are essential in protecting athletes’ rights, ensuring they have fair wages, secure contracts, and career protection. Our legal team assists unions in:

• Negotiating collective bargaining agreements (CBAs) to safeguard player salaries and benefits.
• Enforcing employment rights, contract security, and dispute resolution mechanisms.
• Ensuring player well-being, covering health, safety, and post-career support.
• Advocating for stronger legal protections, including regulatory reforms at the national and international level.

With our support, unions can strengthen their influence, ensure compliance with global labor laws, and create a fairer sporting environment.
