On December 13, 2021 an Agreement on cooperation between the Boxing Federation of the Moscow region and RI-Consulting Law Office was signed. This is undoubtedly an important legal act. This document develops cooperation with Alexander B. Lebzyak (the President of the Federation, a Russian boxer, coach, Grand Slam winner of amateur boxing in heavyweight, the head coach of the Russian national boxing team) and the Federation on the legal aspects of the regulation of contractual relations in the field of sport. Elena Gladysheva, Managing Partner, spoke at the signing ceremony. She noted our obvious contribution to the strengthening of an equitable trusting sports and legal partnership, which aims primarily to provide legal protection for athletes, coaches, and sports clubs.

Sport nowadays is a dynamically developing sphere, which necessitates the timely regulation of relations between all parties.
