Lombardi Associates advises across the full spectrum of regulatory matters.  Our areas of specialism include an in-depth knowledge of all FIFA regulations including the FIFA RSTP and the FIFA Football Agent Regulations, as well as UEFA regulations and in particular Club Licensing and Financial Sustainability Regulations.

We have assisted clients in around 200 cases at CAS, both at first instance and appeal procedures.

We offer a close working relationship to our clients and assist with transfer related negotiations and agreements, employment-related matters and liaise with our international network of contacts to find practical and effective solutions. In addition to legal and regulatory services, our in-house accountant assists with financial aspects of various regulations including taxation elements allowing us to provide a full service to clients.
