About

Provided by Laffer Abogados

Our Sport Department is well known for its unique advice in connection with international transfer of players, which combines labour, tax and IR advise to players, intermediaries or clubs involved in the transaction. This type of transactions requires not only a full confidentiality but also a fast and efficient work in few hours, combining different areas of law and advise on law and tax of different jurisdictions.
The fact that our law firm is not just a Sports & Entertainment firm but a general practice law firm with more than 25 lawyers, guarantees that our clients are treated with the same standards as corporations and individuals not connected with the world of sport.
