We work with Portuguese and international clients including players, trainers, entrepreneurs, sports clubs, sports companies, sports federations, professional leagues and unions.
Our team knows all the ins and outs of sports law and we provide legal support to our clients by preparing and negotiating contracts. These include sports employment contracts, representation and service provision contracts for sports career management, sponsorship agreements, and use of image rights agreements. We also draft articles of association for companies in this field. When it comes to dispute resolution, our team represents clients in arbitrations and litigation before sports federations and the courts, in Portugal and abroad. We also issue legal opinions on sports law issues.
PLMJ is keenly aware that sports law is both a specific field and one that touches on all branches of the law. This means it is crucial for the teams advising clients to be fully trained to provide multidisciplinary legal support. This support has to be comprehensive and tailored, and it must take into account the specific characteristics of the sector to achieve the goals and objectives defined.
