Hadlaw LP

We represent clients in disputes before courts, arbitral tribunals, and sports governing bodies (including CAS and national arbitration centers). Our focus is on efficient dispute resolution- protecting careers, reputations, and financial interests

Sports is employment in its own right. We advise athletes, coaches, and sports organizations on employment contracts, workplace rights, transfer regulations, and disputes. Our expertise ensures fair treatment, compliance with labour laws, and smooth resolution of employment-related issues within the sporting context.
