MOBILIZATION OF HIGH PERFORMANCE ATHLETES
Immigration procedures and work visas are an integral part of the reality for sports clubs and high-performance professional athletes. Although most foreign professional athletes are exempt from obtaining a work permit to participate in a sporting event in Canada, those who wish to join a sports team or work in Canada as a professional athlete will have to comply with several legislative requirements before being allowed to do so. ATHENA AVOCAT® assists and advises high-level athletes in their immigration procedures so that they can obtain the necessary authorization to work and settle in Canada with their families. The proposed game plan is simple, we encourage the athlete to stay focused on his career goals while we take care of the immigration process.

NEGOTIATION OF SPORTS SPONSORSHIP CONTRACTS
Sports sponsorship is an important source of financing in the field of professional sports, both for the athlete who finds a large part of his income there and for the companies which take advantage of associating themselves with their notoriety as a vector of their brand.

Drafting and review of sports contracts
In sports law, as in business, the contract is an important legal document that determines the type of transaction contemplated and the obligations of the parties. Each clause of the contract must be considered from the point of view of legal consequences in order to prevent any eventuality. ATHENA AVOCAT® works with sports clubs, professional athletes and businesses to draft legal documents that are in line with their business priorities.
