Success begins with clarity
and strategy.
Legal advisory for professional athletes, coaches, clubs and investors — with precise contract architecture, sound negotiation, and consistent enforcement of interests.
We do not negotiate for the moment.
We negotiate for the conditions under which the moment unfolds.
Specialisation that holds.
A boutique firm lives by depth, not breadth. What LEGAL 90+ stands for — and what it stands behind.
Boutique, not a department store.
The firm is deliberately narrow. What is handled here is handled in depth — not added on as a generalist extension.

Two books on the mechanics of the market.
Both published in 2026 by BoD. Written from advisory practice in professional football — not from academic distance. German editions; English translations on request.
The Hidden Economy of Professional Football
How contracts, cash flows and structures truly shape the market.
Behind every transfer, every player contract and every investment decision lies a second market: invisible, precise, codified by law. A network of cash flows, risk allocations and contract architectures that determines who wins in this market over the long term.
The Calculable Player
How data, AI and capital are reshaping professional football.
Professional football has been measured in real time for two decades — players are continuously tracked, their market values algorithmically updated, their careers translated into probability functions. In parallel, private-equity funds, family offices and novel securitisation vehicles are restructuring the player market.
Both titles also available as e-book. Press reviews, sample chapters and review copies on request.
Independent. Outcome-driven. Forceful.
Four practice areas, each conceived as an integrated whole — not sold as a standalone product.
Contractperformance.
Drafting, review and negotiation of player and coaching contracts as well as all compensation, bonus and exit arrangements. Variable compensation systems, premium models, signing bonuses, release clauses as a strategic whole.
Rightscontrol.
Structuring and negotiation of sponsorship, licensing and endorsement agreements. Trademark and personality rights, IP exploitation and international licensing chains — scalable and compliance-tested.
Transactionsecurity.
Counsel for national and international transfers, loan deals and registration procedures. Negotiation of release clauses, medical provisions, signing bonuses as well as severance and residual compensation claims.
Enforcementpower.
Enforcement and defence of compensation, transfer and contract claims before national and international federations, sports tribunals, and the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS).
Strategically decided.
Discreetly led.
Legal counsel in professional sport operates at the intersection of performance, market value, regulation and public perception — and demands counsel that holds all four axes at once.
Whether contract extension, club transition, bonus dispute or sponsorship transaction: every decision requires precision, speed and strategic clarity. Transfer windows, federation rules and media dynamics elevate the pressure — it is precisely here that the quality of the structure decides the outcome.
Where additional specialisation is required, work proceeds with selected domestic and international partner firms. Leadership and responsibility remain clearly defined.
