Sport focus
Hockey
Ice and field hockey contracts, transfer and release disputes and on-ice disciplinary matters.
Ice hockey matters cross the IIHF transfer system, European leagues and North American contracts, often with a two-way or waiver question in the middle.
We handle transfer card and release disputes, contract and salary claims, disciplinary hearings and insurance questions after injury.
