Arbitration & Labor Dispute Resolution for Clubs
Football clubs face disputes that may have immediate sporting, financial and regulatory consequences. Claims by players, coaches, agents, other clubs or officials can affect squad planning, transfer strategy, registration decisions, cash flow, sporting sanctions and the club’s reputation.
We represent clubs in employment, contractual, transfer-related and regulatory disputes before FIFA, CAS, national tribunals and other competent bodies. Our work includes defending clubs against claims, filing counterclaims, handling overdue payable allegations, managing termination disputes, responding to agent and commission claims, and advising on disciplinary and regulatory exposure.
We also assist clubs before disputes arise, by reviewing employment contracts, transfer agreements, agent arrangements, disciplinary procedures and internal policies to reduce legal risk and strengthen the club’s position if a dispute later develops.
Our approach is practical and evidence-driven. We help clubs assess the legal merits, commercial exposure, sporting risks and procedural strategy, while building a clear evidentiary record and pursuing the most effective resolution, whether through negotiation, settlement, FIFA proceedings, CAS arbitration or domestic mechanisms.
The firm combines legal expertise, football industry experience and a strong understanding of club operations, helping clubs protect their interests while maintaining focus on sporting and commercial objectives.
