Sport focus
Multi-sport organisations
Olympic, Paralympic and continental games: selection, accreditation, eligibility and ad hoc division proceedings.
Games-time disputes are decided in hours, not months. Accreditation, entry and eligibility questions arise inside the ad hoc division of the Court of Arbitration for Sport.
We advise National Olympic Committees, federations and athletes on selection, entry, accreditation and Games regulations before and during the event.
