Presentation of Mr. BrunetThe founding lawyer of our firm, Me Patrice Brunet, serves as a neutral arbitrator for two tribunals in this field, namely the Sport Dispute Resolution Centre of Canada (SDRCC) and the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS). To preserve his neutrality, Me Brunet cannot represent parties in sports law, so it falls to the rest of the team to stand out.
Our experienced team can help you, whether it's for advice, cases of sports doping, selection conflicts, athlete contracts, or harassment cases. Our lawyers are ready to represent you in various capacities, be it in negotiation, arbitration, mediation, or before the courts. |
