Understand the next step
Explain your role and whether the issue concerns a contract, rights, disciplinary process or dispute. Identify any agent, manager, club or producer already involved.
Clarify whether commercial negotiation, intellectual property and disciplinary representation are all included.
Provide the agreement, notice or receiving authority’s instructions. Explain the objective and any international connection.
Ask about comparable work, professional qualifications and coordination with technical advisers. For certification, confirm exactly what the receiving organisation requires.
Agree on the deliverable, whether a document, opinion, negotiation, regulatory response or representation. Record assumptions and exclusions.
Identify charges for technical reviews, reports, translations, certification and external professionals. These may sit outside a standard consultation.
Ask for a written scope identifying the work you are authorising, the person responsible and when costs will be reviewed. If you only want advice on one step, say so before the firm begins wider work.
Supply regulatory, transaction and overseas receiving dates. Ask about external processing time rather than treating an appointment as completion.
Directory guidance updated 19 September 2026. General information to help you prepare for a conversation with a professional; not advice about your individual matter. Check current requirements with the relevant authority.
Good to know
Yes, especially for sponsorship, image rights and player agreements.
A notary certifies and witnesses documents that will be used overseas, such as powers of attorney, company documents and personal records. Some documents also need an apostille or legalisation after notarisation.
For routine matters a general practitioner is often fine. In specialist fields, experience with the specific regulator, industry and precedents usually saves time and cost.
