We believe that sports law cases should not be analyzed by ordinary local courts which are suffocated with disputes from dozens of areas of law, but by specialized sports arbitral tribunals. However, some sports disputes are adjudicated by local courts. Sports law is not a very developed branch in Romania, and that is why we consider that our specialized lawyers, who have represented hundreds of clients before the Romanian local law courts, are the most suitable to represent your interests in a litigation within the jurisdiction of the Romanian courts. Our Law Firm offers assistance and representation services before the Courts, Tribunals, Courts of Appeal and before the High Court of Cassation and Justice in Romania.
