ABOUT US
ARNECKE SIBETH DABELSTEIN is one of the very few law firms to offer full-service consultation in sports law
This is due to the broad range of activities of the lawyers in our Sports group, who are all leading consultants in their various specialist areas. In addition to its high level of specialisation, our Sports group is also international in character and has a strong network in sports.
As a result of our membership in the award-winning law networks Interlaw and Meritas, we can also implement international sports projects quickly and professionally.
The SPORTS competence area is part of the commercial law firm ARNECKE SIBETH DABELSTEIN.
