Commission Disputes

Blackstone Solicitors provides legal advice on matters relating to commission disputes across a variety of sports.

Commission conflicts cause worry among players and athletes, stress among commission officials, and disseminate negativity throughout the team. If disputes are not resolved expeditiously, openly, and with complete transparency, it casts doubt on the fairness of commission allocation. This is difficult to recover from.

Handling commission disputes is a difficult endeavour. It is crucial to be prepared to answer players’ questions concerning payment with tact and precision. We can provide all the expert legal assistance you need in dealing with commission disputes and have considerable experience in this area of law.

“I used Natalie at Blackstone to sell my house. She was excellent – responsive, proactive and diligent. The sale wasn’t straightforward, but Natalie constantly looked for solutions and was clear and timely in her communication. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her or use her and Blackstone again. A great service.”
