MISSION
The sports world is increasingly faster paced, more regulated and complex than ever.

Whether you have to cover a temporary shortfall in resources, need support with longer-term projects, or require specific outside expertise, we get the job done with a can-do mindset and provide fast, flexible, transparent and actionable advice.
The solution is entirely flexible: you determine whether we work from home or in your organisation, individually or in teams, on an hourly basis, fixed-contract or indefinite basis.

Sports Lawyer / Founder SportsLex
Valérie specialises in advising international sports organisations in all legal and governance matters, ranging from areas of litigation, disciplinary, integrity as well as sports regulatory or any other governance matters your organisation needs support with.
With a vast experience and knowledge of having worked at the biggest international sports governing body, FIFA, for eight years in senior positions across various legal departments, litigating for FIFA in front of the Court of Arbitration for Sports (CAS) and having worked as the Deputy Head for Ethics & Governance department in a particular troublesome period for the organisation, she will be able to assist your organisation across several legal and governance matters.
She currently manages all legal & governance matters at the International Hockey Federation, FIH, in Lausanne on a part-time basis, where she gains the perspective and experience of a smaller sports organisation and its daily challenges. She is also a Tribunal member for the Fédération Equestre Internationale (FEI) since November 2019 and sits on the ASOIF Legal Consultative Group.
