Proud to have represented @melisdurul in her salary dispute before the #CEV against @pge_budowlani_lodz — a 100% win. 🏆
The CEV aligned with #FIVB case law, confirming that when a salary is stipulated with a net nature, clubs must provide adequate documentation evidencing this net nature. A real step forward for player rights. 💪

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. 💪
