First questions

What we will ask first

  1. 01Who is involved: athlete, club, federation or sponsor?
  2. 02Which countries and which governing bodies?
  3. 03What do the contracts and rules say?
  4. 04Is there a deadline: a transfer window, a hearing or an event?

The approach

How WONE Global usually approaches it

  1. Step 1Review contracts and the relevant sports rules.
  2. Step 2Bring in sports law, tax and immigration professionals.
  3. Step 3Negotiate or bring the case before the right body.
  4. Step 4Align tax and image rights.

What is needed varies by country and by matter. Your WONE Global professional confirms the work, timing and fees before anything starts.

Across borders

Complications to check

Issues to assess when more than one country is involved. They are prompts, not conclusions about any country's law.

  • Different laws of contractParties sign one commercial agreement but disagree which law governs duties, damages and remedies
  • Foreign ownership of landAn asset buyer needs to verify permitted ownership interests and registrations
  • Child custody and relocationFamily members live in different countries and dispute applicable forum or orders
  • Court vs arbitration forumAgreement uses arbitration while assets and key witnesses are in different countries
  • Recognition of judgmentsA party wins abroad but needs lawful local recognition and enforcement
