Notre accompagnement

Legal performance at the service of sports performance.

Modern sport is a complex ecosystem combining labour law, intellectual property, and federal regulations. I support sports players so that they can focus on the field.

My intervention covers the three pillars of a career:

  1. The Athlete: Securing employment contracts, transfers and social protection.
  2. The image: Maximization of sponsorship revenues through rigorous partnership and image exploitation contracts.
  3. The Agent and the Club: Mandates in accordance with regulations (FFF, FIFA, etc.) and legal structuring of sports entities.

I recently accompanied several soccer players (L1/L2) and professional golfers.

Examples of services:

  • Athlete career management: Negotiation and drafting of sports employment contracts, agent mandates, and transfer management. Monitoring of agent commissions.
  • Sponsorship & Image: Elaboration of partnership and sponsorship contracts (Endorsement) with equipment manufacturers or luxury brands (in French and English). Exploitation of image rights.
  • Advice to institutions and clubs: Legal structuring of clubs, creation of investment vehicles dedicated to sport and analysis of federal regulations (timeshare, training allowances).
  • Media & Audiovisual: Contracts for the co-production of sports reports and transfer of broadcasting rights.
