DISCIPLINARY & DOPING CASES

Our team advises and represents elite athletes, owners, trainers, veterinarians, equestrian professionals, and organizations in complex disciplinary and doping matters before national and international governing bodies. Our practice encompasses proceedings before the Fédération Equestre Internationale (FEI), Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS), the Horseracing Integrity and Safety Authority (HISA), and other regulatory and disciplinary tribunals.

These proceedings often involve significant legal and commercial consequences. We develop strategies that are carefully tailored to the specific aspects of each case, ensuring that our client’s interests, career, and future are protected with precision and strategic insight. Throughout every stage of the process, we handle each matter with the utmost discretion, recognizing the reputational consequences at stake.

Our international team combines extensive legal experience with in-depth knowledge of international sports regulation and equine law. Where appropriate, we work closely with a trusted network of internationally recognized laboratories and independent scientific and veterinary experts to assess analytical findings, review testing procedures, and evaluate the technical evidence underlying each case.

This integrated approach enables us to examine every aspect of a case thoroughly and develop defense strategies that are both legally robust and scientifically well-founded. From the initial investigation through disciplinary hearings and appeals, we provide strategic representation while safeguarding our clients’ interests.
