Sports Arbitration

Arbitration and sport share a common tradition - both are competitive and strive for success. The fast-paced industry that has developed around professional sport and the rising popularity of major sporting events has led to an increase in the number of sport-related disputes. Sports Arbitration includes disputes of a commercial as well as disciplinary nature, such as admission of athletes, penalties, transfer of athletes and anti-doping measures, as well as contractual issues like advertising and sponsoring, franchising or television rights, and athlete contracts.

Sports arbitration has gained a reputation of being swift and efficient, catering to the practical requirements of the industry. Konrad & Justich’s International Arbitration Practice Group offers know-how and experience in this field to athletes, sporting organisations and companies involved in sport-related business.
