Great to see @melanie.paul in the shirt of the @dvv_nationalteams at the @bvwc2025 from @beachvolleyballworld!
When her sporting nationality got challenged some months ago, we stood by Melanie’s side. With the right strategy, expertise regarding the concept of federation of origin and full trust of the player and her family, we managed to get Melanie ready for the beach volleyball highlight of the year 💪
Power to the players, always. 💪

Changing the negotiation game, step by step. 👇
We recently helped U.S. national team setter @michaelpwright1 to end his contract smoothly. Instead of a ‘case won’, we got a ‘done deal’.
🤝 Lawyers aren’t just a last resort: early advice prevents conflicts.
💡 To secure a smooth deal, we work with objective items through interest-based negotiation. All for an efficient, effective procedure.
Glad to have achieved the best possible outcome for Michael, who is now pursuing new heights with Turkish club @gsvoleybol.
