We advise athletes(footballers, pilots and tennis players, among others), coaches and members of the coaching staff on issues of contracting, tax planning, international taxation and optimisation of financial structures, drafting and termination of contracts. We also offer management, exploitation and protection of their image and privacy rights and advertising and sponsorship contracts.

We advise sports clubs, especially football clubs and SAD (Sports Limited Companies), on corporate matters, such as the purchase and sale of shares or capital increases, corporate and debt financing, and on tax and insolvency matters. We also advise on tax, labour and intellectual property matters in the drafting of all types of contracts, whether with players and coaching staff, television or sponsorship.
