Protect a short, mobile and highly exposed career

Support mobile careers, varied sources of income and sporting schedules that cross borders.

Contracts, remuneration and image rights

Each source of income must be qualified by reference to the contract, actual activity and relevant territory.

We analyse salaries, performance bonuses, sponsorship, services and image rights to identify their tax and reporting treatment.

Any collection structures are assessed against substance, economic purpose and obligations imposed on the athlete and partners.

Tax residence and international mobility

The timetable of training, competitions and stays is central to the cross-border analysis.

We determine tax residence and examine treaty rules for athletes working in several states.

Contracts, activity days, declared income and supporting evidence are brought into line to limit double-taxation and challenge risks.

Career and wealth

Preserving capital and life after sport

Income concentrated in a short period must be aligned with long-term personal and professional plans.

Advice may cover investments, wealth organisation, family protection and the transition after a career.

Solutions are compared by cost, liquidity, reporting robustness and consistency with the athlete’s accepted level of risk.
