Sports Marketing and Sponsorship
We develop comprehensive sponsorship concepts and draft specific agreements for sports organisations, teams, events and individual athletes.
We assist federations, agencies, event organisers and broadcasters in negotiating broadcast and redistribution agreements.
We take care of the protection of trademarks, logos, naming rights of sport events and organisations and of the image and naming rights of individual athletes.
We advise and represent clubs, teams, players agents and professional athletes with regard to contract negotiations, transfers and breaches of player contracts.
Sports Litigation and Arbitration
We advise and represent domestic and foreign sports organisations, individual athletes, teams, event organisers and marketing agencies before state courts and arbitration tribunals.
We are acting as arbitrators in arbitration commissions of federations, ad hoc arbitration panels and standing arbitration tribunals. Ulrich Haas and Stephan Netzle have been members of the Court of Arbitration for Sport in Lausanne (CAS) since several years.
We execute investigation mandates for sports organisations and provide legal opinions on sports law issues.
Sports Associations and Federations
We draft statutes and regulations for sports associations and federations.
We provide comprehensive legal advice to sports organisations in support of their daily business (e.g. labour law and social security, intellectual property, rental of office space, procurement, contracts, and organisational issues).
We assist foreign sports organisations establishing their headquarters or a branch in Switzerland.
