BMA Advogados

The sports law practice at BMA Advogados demonstrates significant expertise across both transactional and contentious matters in the sector. On the transactional side, the team, whose clients include clubs, athletes, investors, and major sports event organisers, has a strong track record advising on high-profile M&A transactions, the formation of football corporations (SAFs), licensing agreements, and brand management. In contentious matters, the group is adept at representing prominent clients, including the Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF), in disputes before sports and judicial courts. Practice head Vitor Butruce specialises in contentious proceedings before CAS and FIFA, while Amir Bocayuva Cunha focuses on transactional work.
