Are you active in the sports world as an organization, employer or athlete? You will then come into contact with very diverse legal areas such as Labour law, European law, state aid rules, intellectual property law and the tax treatment of athletes. This is apart from typical sports law issues such as abuse of drugs in sport, disciplinary law, transfers and posting to international competitions such as the Olympic Games.
