Over recent years, the connection between sport and legal practice has become increasingly tight, leading to the settlement and the consolidation of specialistic expertise within law firms. ItaliaOggiSette, the weekly ItaliaOggi insert dealing with professionals and business issues, has explored this transformation generated by the growing complexity of the rules that govern sport, making lawyers key figures also within sports federations and entities.

“Sports law is certainly a very relevant practice in our Firm’s activity also due to its transversal nature that involves all law main areas  – pointed out Gianluca Cambareri of Tonucci & Partners in the weekly article – Thus, for years, the Firm has established a multidisciplinary team made up of professionals highly specialized in sports sector, many of whom are appointees of important assignments within Federations or sports clubs. The Firm regularly provides assistance not only to these entities but also in favor of clubs, sponsors, shareholders, investment companies, agents and professional athletes. Of course, the assistance depends on the client’s requests, on the relative operation range and the type of activity requested, being it ordinary or extraordinary”.
