SPORTS LAW
Contracts – Athletes, coaches and clubs · Agents · Sponsorships · eSports

Alongside this, competitive gaming – known as eSports – has truly made its entry into the global world of sport, for the benefit of all of us who also find this form of competition fascinating.

Within this field, Advice Lawyer Firm serves as an adviser on sports law to a wide range of sports federations, for instance the Danish Football Association (DBU), elite clubs, professional athletes and their agents.
