Testimonials
We’ve represented many individuals and organisations, here are some kind words from a few of them.
RA engaged SportsLawyer to assist with two matters of significance for our organisation and the Australian Rowing Team, in relation to the 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games.
We were delighted with the exceptional expertise, professionalism, and dedication to achieving the best possible outcomes for our organisation and most importantly, our athletes.
SportsLawyer demonstrated an outstanding ability to navigate complex international legal issues with precision and efficiency. Their understanding of sports law, strategic approach, and commitment to their clients has been invaluable in our cases.
Rowing Australia (RA)
As an amateur community competition that manages over 12,000 participants, our range of legal matters cover a broad range of issues, including commercial, governance, dispute resolution and human resource matters.
In all cases we have relied upon the expertise of SportsLawyer principal Paul Horvath and his staff for their expert advice. On all occasions, SportsLawyer have been super responsive, accurate and detailed with their advice, yet able to explain things to us in layman’s terms such that we understood all the issues and then guide us through the necessary steps to inevitably achieve a positive outcome for the VAFA.
We can attest to the consistency in understanding, quality service, professionalism, and support provided to us by SportsLawyer.
Victorian Amateur Football Association (VAFA)
We have found them professional and diligent with all of our interactions and have recommended them to other NSOs. When dealing with them we have found that they truly represent our interests and the interests of our members.
They have a personal touch based in professionalism, and understand the perspectives of smaller sporting organisations. They understand what sport brings to the wider community, and its benefits in a broader perspective./

International Athletics Athlete
From my very first phone call and throughout the duration of my case I felt truly heard, understood, respected and very importantly I felt totally supported by the whole team.
Paul Horvath & Jackie Chan were amazing, they demonstrated a very sound knowledge of Sport Law and processes, they provided expert guidance to me throughout and always kept me fully informed and included every step of the way, all the while showing genuine empathy for what I was going through.
Amateur Woman’s Golfer
We recently instructed SportsLawyer to conduct an investigation and produce a report on that investigation. Both the investigation and the report were produced to an exceptionally high standard and with sensitivity and a great deal of empathy.
Although we are based in the UK, we are a global body and as such it is important to us that we have access to lawyers who can provide a timely and trusted legal service in many jurisdictions.

We really appreciated Jackie, Paul and the team taking the time to understand the particular nuances of our player-pays sport and how best practice dispute resolution could still effectively work in a professional but limited funded volunteer-based sport.
