Litigation

The international basketball community acknowledges Cresta as a leading authority in defending clients before the Basketball Arbitral Tribunal (BAT), FIBA Appeals Panel and CAS. Overdue payables, contested agent fees, wrongful dismissals, medical contractual issues, letters of clearance, release or termination clauses, etc., our track record in hundreds of disputes (resolved by the BAT or settled upon negotiation) speaks for itself.
