SPORTS LAW FOR ATHLETES
It’s the athlete’s career. The understanding should be, too.
Performance gets much of the attention in sport. Yet decisions made away from training and competition can shape a career for years.
A first professional contract. An agreement with an agent. A sponsorship deal. Each creates opportunities and commitments that extend beyond the day of signing.
Different interests come together in these agreements. The athlete lives with the consequences. They should understand the terms they accept and the choices that remain.
Athletes deserve more than a contract to sign or advice to follow. They deserve to understand their rights, obligations and choices.
That is what Athlete Consult stands for.
We make specialist legal knowledge accessible to athletes. We assess agreements, examine legal questions and explain what the findings mean for the athlete.
The business side of a sporting career deserves careful attention. Not only when a dispute arises, but when a new agreement or opportunity is on the table.
Athlete Consult supports young talents and their parents, athletes entering professional sport and established professionals. Across contracts, commercial partnerships and disputes.
The practice draws on corporate and contract law experience and around five years in sports law. Its legal adviser holds a Dutch law qualification (mr.) and works with player contracts, representation agreements and sponsorship deals.
