Sports and law

Disciplinary law, association law, liability, sponsor contracts and athlete transfers. As one of only a few law firms in the Netherlands De Voort has an interdisciplinary branch group. All matters involving sports are addressed by the branch group.

We know every detail of the legal aspects, but also take into account the culture of sports (organisations). In addition to legal expertise the members of this section also have an affinity for sports. Most members are active in (international) sports and sports support organisations. In addition to that the section is often involved in promoting and developing this field of expertise. The section actively contributes to the scientific "Sport en Recht" journal, provides training and issues publications. The branch group is leading in its field of expertise.

The branch group is the contact point for the Sport en Gemeenten Association for the South of the Netherlands.
