Baseball
Contract, agency and cross-border transfer questions for players moving between leagues and national federations.
Baseball matters are cross-border by nature. A move between a national league and a major league raises posting, release, registration and immigration questions at the same time.
We co-ordinate the contractual, regulatory and tax strands so a transfer does not fail on a detail discovered late.
