About
International sport is governed by a transnational legal and regulatory order distinct from national legal systems. Sports-related matters are shaped by private regulations, institutional rules, and international arbitration mechanisms, particularly those associated with the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS). Consilium advises on sport-related matters within this non-territorial framework, supporting stakeholders operating in global sporting structures.
Consilium’s sports practice is grounded in lex sportiva and informed by institutional understanding of federations, leagues, and regulatory bodies. The firm’s approach recognises the unique balance between legal principles, sporting autonomy, and institutional governance that defines international sport.
What We Do
Consilium advises and represents clients in sports-related disputes and arbitration, including proceedings before CAS and disciplinary bodies of international federations. The firm supports governance and institutional matters, including the drafting and review of statutes, regulations, and decision-making frameworks for sports organisations.
Integrity, ethics, and disciplinary matters form a core part of the practice, with advisory on compliance frameworks, investigations, and disciplinary proceedings, including anti-doping-related issues. Consilium also advises on athlete and career matters, including contractual arrangements, eligibility, transfers, and dispute resolution in an international context.
Regulatory and policy advisory supports sports bodies and stakeholders in aligning with evolving international standards and governance expectations. All sport-related work is conducted within transnational regulatory frameworks, reflecting the non-territorial nature of international sports law.
