Sport focus
Rugby
Cross-border player movement, salary cap and regulatory compliance and citing and disciplinary hearings.
Rugby matters are dominated by discipline and welfare: foul play citings, salary cap regulation, release for international duty and concussion protocols.
We act in World Rugby and union disciplinary proceedings, in player and club contract disputes and in regulatory investigations.
