Employment law in sports is a complex and dynamic field in which we excel as a law firm.

We provide legal advice to employers, employees, contractors and clients alike. We also assist our clients in legal proceedings in the field of employment law, whether it involves (international) arbitration or litigation before the (subdistrict) court.

Disputes regarding the purchase or sale of horses, agreements between owners and riders concerning training costs, prize money, or the distribution of sales proceeds, and legal issues related to training, boarding, and collaboration require specialized knowledge of the equestrian sector.

Intellectual property rights play an increasingly important role, both in sports and beyond. Intellectual property rights include trademark rights, copyrights and patents. Perhaps even more important are portrait rights (image rights). Although portrait rights are not formally intellectual property rights, they have strong similarities to them. We advise and litigate on intellectual property rights and portrait rights. And, of course, we also draft contracts for our clients. This of course includes sponsorship contracts.
Agents in professional Football are essential links in the professional Football world. Agents (formerly known as agents or intermediaries) play a crucial role in transfer and contract negotiations between players, clubs and sponsors. Their expertise includes managing financial agreements, finding suitable career opportunities for players or coaches and negotiating lucrative sponsorship deals. These professionals work closely with players and coaches to represent their interests and negotiate the best possible deals. However, it is important to note that regulations surrounding Football agents are evolving.
What should players pay attention to when entering into contracts with clubs, Football agents and sponsors? BMDW answers all your questions and can help you check contracts.
BMDW Lawyers assists various Football clubs, both at amateur level, in professional Football and Football clubs abroad. We advise on both Football technical and organizational matters. For clubs, adequate and specialized knowledge of both national law and the regulations of the KNVB and FIFA is of great importance for drafting and monitoring the various agreements within the management. For example, the financial and sporting interests involved in a transfer are often great and acting quickly is often a requirement to complete the transfer in a timely manner.
Transfers of (professional) Football players are legally complex and sometimes very exciting. BMDW Advocaten is specialized in providing legal assistance with (international) transfers. We do that for Football agents, but also for players, coaches and (professional) Football clubs.

Sports disciplinary law plays a key role in maintaining fair play and the reputation of sports.
