Four disciplines.
One specialisation.
Every mandate handled by this practice falls within the tight regulatory perimeter of FIFA, CAS, and EU sports law. Specialist knowledge — not generalist reach — is what wins these cases.
The practice is built for football professionals who need counsel that speaks the language of the Tribunal, understands FFAR compliance from the inside, and tracks CJEU developments in real time.
Full representation before the FIFA Football Tribunal and Dispute Resolution Chamber — player contract disputes, training compensation, solidarity mechanism claims, from first submission through to international enforcement of the award.
End-to-end advisory for FIFA-licensed football intermediaries under the 2023 Football Agent Regulations — compliance structuring, representation agreement drafting, multi-jurisdictional registration, and disciplinary defence.
Deep specialisation in contract termination disputes under Article 17 RSTP — just cause, sporting just cause, unilateral termination, financial liability — with continuous monitoring of CJEU proceedings reshaping the entire framework.
Drafting and review of player employment contracts, agent representation agreements, image rights licences, and transfer documentation — alongside strategic advice where domestic employment law intersects with FIFA's regulatory framework.

"Cross-border FIFA proceedings demand not just knowledge of the regulations, but an instinct for how the Tribunal reasons. Every submission is a strategic act — not an administrative formality."

Mandates
Dachi Peradze is an international sports lawyer based in Tbilisi, Georgia, practising under dachiperadze.com. His work is concentrated exclusively at the intersection of FIFA regulatory frameworks, CAS arbitration procedure, and the commercial realities of cross-border football.
Before establishing an independent practice, Dachi trained in a law firm environment and developed specialist fluency in FFAR compliance, FIFA Tribunal proceedings, and Article 17 RSTP disputes. That regulatory focus now defines everything the practice does — there is no generalist work, no approximation.
His ongoing PhD research on Article 17 RSTP and contractual stability keeps his advisory work at the frontier of this fast-moving field. He maintains active real-time monitoring of CJEU proceedings C-209/23 and C-428/23 — the cases that will determine the future validity of FFAR itself.
Dachi represents clients directly — agencies and clubs across Eastern and Western Europe — with the responsiveness of a boutique and the depth of a specialist. When you instruct this practice, the lawyer who assesses your case is the lawyer who handles it.

Three principles that separate this practice from generalist sports law departments and large firm structures.
The FIFA regulatory ecosystem — RSTP, FFAR, DRC procedure — changes faster than most practitioners track. This practice is built entirely around it. No catch-up research. No generalist approximation. The update is already in the advisory.
When you instruct this practice, you deal directly with the lawyer handling your case. No delegation to associates. No repeated briefing. Your matter receives senior-level attention from first instruction to final award.
Acting for clients from Georgia to the Netherlands, Slovakia to Western Europe — this practice understands how FIFA proceedings intersect with domestic employment law, national federation rules, and the practical realities of multi-jurisdictional enforcement.
