About

SPORTS-LEX is an independent legal platform dedicated to the analysis, interpretation, and practical application of sports law, with a primary focus on professional football. The platform was created in response to the growing complexity of the legal and regulatory framework governing professional sport and the evident lack of accessible, structured, and practice-oriented legal resources for athletes and sports organisations.

Professional sportsmen and sportswomen, clubs, agents, and other stakeholders operate within a highly regulated environment shaped by international regulations, national legislation, and sporting autonomy. Despite this, many professionals are required to make legally and financially significant decisions without direct access to specialised sports law expertise. SPORTS-LEX aims to address this gap by providing reliable, clearly structured, and professionally drafted legal content tailored to the realities of modern professional sport.

In its initial phase, SPORTS-LEX focuses on football law, covering key areas such as player and coach contracts, transfer agreements, loan structures, buy-out and sell-on clauses, training compensation, solidarity mechanisms, and regulatory compliance under FIFA, UEFA, and national association frameworks. The platform also addresses dispute-related matters, including contractual disputes and regulatory proceedings, with reference to established jurisprudence and regulatory practice.

Beyond legal analysis and commentary, SPORTS-LEX offers practical legal tools intended to assist professionals in understanding and managing their legal and financial exposure. These tools include professionally prepared legal drafts for use as reference models, as well as tax calculation tools designed to illustrate the potential fiscal implications for professional football players operating across different jurisdictions.

SPORTS-LEX is designed as a reference and educational platform, combining legal accuracy with practical relevance. The content is structured to support informed decision-making and to promote a clearer understanding of sports law among professionals who may not have a legal background but are nevertheless directly affected by regulatory and contractual obligations.

While the initial scope of the platform is limited to football, the conceptual and structural framework of SPORTS-LEX allows for future expansion into other professional sports, reflecting the shared regulatory challenges faced across the sports industry.
