“Oh, so you make sports law – doping and so”
This is a typical dialogue, we will encounter. No, we do not doping, but we deal professionally intensively.
Doping is certainly the most spectacular, but not the most common application of sports law. Sports law is the right of the federations, but also a collective term for a variety of areas, which have a special relationship to the sport and that we encounter in our other practice first. Labour law with specific lawyer Wieschemann is focussed on football: to Lizensierungsverfahren of the sports leagues such as the Football League and the handball Bundesliga, he has worked as well as to employment and labour issues of the workers in the sport, the tax law and the questions of sponsorship.

In particular the change or the new position of Association statutes, but also debates about the change in the amateur leagues of football occupy.
