Collective bargaining frameworks, grievance and arbitration procedures and cross-border contract questions.
North American leagues operate through collective bargaining, so the agreement and the grievance procedure control what can be claimed and where.
We advise on league and union rules, cross-border contract and tax questions and grievance and arbitration procedure for international players.
