Basketball
Player and coach contracts, unpaid salary claims and proceedings before FIBA's Basketball Arbitral Tribunal and the CAS.
Most basketball disputes are salary disputes. A player or coach is unpaid, the club offers a schedule that never holds and the season ends before anything is recovered.
We bring and defend claims before FIBA's Basketball Arbitral Tribunal and the Court of Arbitration for Sport and deal with letters of clearance that are being withheld.
