2024-2025 Law Summit: Bertrand Law Firm Wins Two Gold Awards in Sports Law
The 2024-2025 Law Summit highlights the Bertrand Law Firm's excellence in Sports Law by winning the Gold Trophy for two consecutive years. This recognition underscores the firm's expertise and commitment to this growing legal specialization, solidifying its status as a leader in the field.
In 2025, Bertrand Law Firm renewed its Gold Trophy title in the Sports Law category at the Law Summit organized by Décideurs Juridiques and Leaders League magazines. This double consecutive distinction confirms the firm's position as a benchmark in sports law in France.
Key points to remember:
2024: First participation, first victory (Gold Trophy)
2025: Second participation, second consecutive victory
Only firm to win in this category two years in a row
Category created for the first time in 2024 (24th edition of the Summit)
2024 Law Summit: First Award
The first distinction in Sports Law
In February 2024, during its first participation in the Law Awards ceremony, Bertrand Law Firm was awarded the Gold Trophy for the best law firm in Sports Law.
This award is particularly significant: it was the first time in 24 editions that a specific award for sports law had been created and presented at the Law Summit.
The creation of this category dedicated to sports law reflects the growing importance of this legal specialization and the need to recognize the expertise of firms that focus exclusively on it.
For the Bertrand law firm, with more than 50 years of exclusive experience in sports law, this first distinction validated the relevance of an approach totally dedicated to this specific legal field.
