Where European Law
Specialist advice at the intersection of European Union law, competition law and sport.
Three Areas.
One European Perspective.
Benoît’s practice is built around three closely connected areas of European law.
Each requires specialist knowledge in its own right. Together, they provide a broader perspective on the legal frameworks that govern how organisations operate, compete and develop across Europe.
European Sports Law
Sport is increasingly shaped by
European law.
Sports organisations operate within a complex legal and regulatory environment.
Benoît advises on the application of EU and competition law to sports governance, sports regulations and the commercialisation of sporting activities.
His work includes advising on the design and review of sports regulations, the legal framework governing competitions and the commercial exploitation of sports rights.
He has acted in significant proceedings concerning football, cycling, skating, tennis, basketball, and skiing amongst others relating to sports regulatory issues. He has also advised sports organisations and apparel brands on a range of commercial issues relating to sport.
Competition Law
Competition law can shape both
strategy and regulation.
The application of EU competition law can have significant consequences for organisations, commercial agreements and regulatory frameworks.
Benoît advises on restrictive practices, abuse of dominance, state aid and other complex competition law issues.
He also represents clients in proceedings before the European Commission, EU Courts and national courts.
His approach combines detailed legal analysis with an understanding of the commercial and regulatory environment in which clients operate.
European Union Law
EU law shapes the way
Europe operates.
The European Union’s legal framework affects how organisations access markets, provide services, move goods and respond to regulatory change.
Benoît advises on the application of EU law, including internal market rules, European legislation and regulatory frameworks.
He helps clients understand the implications of European legal developments and advises on the opportunities and obligations created by the evolving EU legal landscape.
