CONTRACT NEGOTIATION

"OPTIMUM INSTEAD OF MAXIMUM"

Due to their own experience as players and thanks to their constant presence in the international sports business, our management has excellent conditions for a successful basis for negotiations. Both the players and the clubs benefit from this within the framework of a cooperative and respectful collaboration.

The ice hockey business has developed strongly in many respects over the last two decades. Sport has become an important part of the entertainment industry, and Swiss ice hockey has gained a solid position. Accordingly, the financial situation in the clubs has also changed enormously. Some clubs offer improved pension fund solutions or even cadre insurance for their employees. This gives players the opportunity to be better protected and also to optimize their tax burden. However, all these measures only benefit the player if these approaches are taken into account during contract negotiations.

Finally, it is also of great importance that the respective contracts are legally secure. We at Helpstone Sport Consulting also cover this service. We not only have two lawyers in our team, but also an employment law specialist who can contribute her expertise in this area.

 Players today earn several times more than in previous years. This is both a claim and an obligation. Professional players today more than ever need a comprehensive service that they can rely on on and off the ice. Our primary goal is to represent our clients in the best possible way in every situation of their sporting careers. By optimal we do not only mean the financial aspect, but also the sporting and legal part. If one of these three elements is not optimally laid out, a contract negotiation is incomplete and anything but optimal for a player. Maximum pay is less important in our efforts than an optimal overall package with the right club and the right coach.
