PLL Legal & Cross-Border Practice

Sport focus

Motorsport

Driver and team agreements, sporting regulation protests, technical compliance and sponsorship disputes.

Motorsport combines technical regulation with substantial commercial exposure. A technical protest, a licence point or a sponsorship default can end a season.

We act in FIA and national sporting court proceedings, in team, driver and sponsorship contracts and in technical protests and appeals.
