At FAIRWAY, we believe in the power of collaboration, innovation, and growth. As the exclusive Legal Partner of Volley Vlaanderen and TopVolley Belgium, we are proud to combine our legal expertise with our passion for sports in a partnership focused on the professionalization, protection, and growth of volleyball. With a wide range of legal services and a personalized approach, FAIRWAY offers tailored support not only to businesses and individuals but also to the volleyball community. Our experience in various legal areas faced by clubs, players, coaches, federations, board members, and sponsors enables us to assist them in an increasingly complex legal landscape.

Starting in 2025, we will jointly build a strong legal foundation for the future of volleyball, both in Flanders, Belgium, and internationally.

The FAIRWAY
As a "one-stop-office," we specialize in various legal fields and guide our clients in all aspects of their personal and professional lives. We are known for our comprehensive approach, providing support "from cradle to grave" to both businesses and individuals. We not only use traditional court litigation methods but increasingly focus on mediation and other forms of alternative dispute resolution. Our team of 25 legal professionals, including 6 certified mediators or mediators in training, works with dedication and passion to create tailored solutions, always prioritizing our clients' interests.

Why FAIRWAY chooses volleyball
This new partnership fits perfectly with our vision of strengthening our social engagement and putting our legal expertise at the service of the volleyball world.
Volleyball is known for its core values such as teamwork, discipline, respect, and ambition, which align seamlessly with our firm's principles. Additionally, we have two active volleyball players on our team, making our connection to the sport even more special. At FAIRWAY, we understand better than anyone that volleyball attracts ambitious and talented individuals. This partnership allows us not only to increase our brand awareness but also to connect with a passionate community in Flanders and Belgium. Moreover, with our link to the Ethical Advisory Board, our longstanding involvement with a local volleyball club, and the location of our office near the EuroVolleyCenter, this partnership was a logical next step.

What FAIRWAY can offer the volleyball world
In the coming years, we are eager to share our legal expertise in drafting player, sponsor, and collaboration contracts, assist with ethical and legal issues, and support players and clubs in copyright, image rights, and privacy and data protection. You can expect workshops, seminars, publications, and guidelines on a wide range of legal topics affecting everyone in the volleyball world. We bring our legal expertise to volleyball to contribute to the sport's further professionalization, growth, and protection.
We are proud to be part of this fantastic community as a Legal Partner and look forward to building a strong foundation for the future of volleyball together.

Marc Schoofs, Managing Partner of FAIRWAY: "Our law firm breathes sports across various disciplines and sees particular value in volleyball. With long-standing involvement in a local club, having played myself in the past, and the recent great experience as a partner of the Belgian Beachvolley Championship, this partnership was the logical next step."
