How can we help?
Your legal partner in cycling
In recent years, Everest Sports Law has built broad expertise in cycling law. We have already assisted various cycling teams and riders in a wide range of matters: the recovery of outstanding wages and prize money, doping proceedings, sponsorship disputes and employment law conflicts.
Belgian cycling is governed by the UCI, the KBWB (Royal Belgian Cycling Federation) and WBV (Wielrijdersbond Vlaanderen), each with its own regulations, procedures and adjudicating bodies.
No-obligation consultationOur services
Wages & prize money
Cycling teams do not always pay on time or correctly. Everest Sports Law assists riders and staff members in recovering outstanding wages, allowances and prize money earned — both amicably and before the competent court or sports arbitration body. We have extensive experience with cross-border matters involving teams from different countries.
Doping cases
Doping is one of the most frequent legal issues in cycling. Every positive result can lead to a suspension of several years, a fine and reputational damage. Our lawyers guide riders from the notification of the positive test through the entire doping procedure, with particular attention to timely evidence-gathering and possible sanction reduction based on the degree of fault or administrative error.
Agreements & sponsorship
From team contracts and transfer agreements to sponsorship agreements with major brands: Everest Sports Law negotiates and reviews your contracts with the necessary sports-law expertise. We pay particular attention to termination clauses, exclusivity arrangements, payment schedules and liability provisions.
Tax & social security status
Riders active in multiple countries face complex tax and social security issues. Our team assists you with the application of the special social security status of the professional cyclist, as provided for in the Royal Decree of 21 August 1967, and guides you through tax filings, international tax planning and the optimisation of your remuneration structure.
