PLL Legal & Cross-Border Practice

Sport focus

Handball

Club and player contracts, transfer certificates and disciplinary proceedings within the handball pyramid.

Handball moves players across Europe on short contracts, so unpaid salary, release and transfer certificate disputes recur every season.

We act in EHF and IHF proceedings, in club and player contract claims and in national federation registration matters.
