My name is Leo and I am a dedicated and ambitious legal professional with a deep passion for football. After earning my Bachelor of Laws (LLB) from Tilburg University in the Netherlands, I decided to further my education by pursuing a Master degree in Sports Law at Universidad Europea in Madrid, Spain. I recently graduated summa cum laude from this prestigious program, solidifying my expertise in the legal intricacies of the sports industry, with a particular focus on football.

During my studies, I had the incredible opportunity to intern at Real Madrid C.F., one of the world’s most renowned football clubs. This experience provided me with invaluable insights into the legal and operational aspects of a top-tier sports organization. Next, I will be interning at Ruiz-Huerta Crespo, a leading sports law firm known for its work with major clubs, associations, and companies in the sports sector.

Football has been a lifelong passion for me, something that has stayed with me since childhood. Unlike my colleagues, Ben and Tom, who pursued football more professionally, it remained a cherished hobby for me. However, my love for the sport inspired me to build a career where I could combine this passion with my legal expertise.

Now, as part of a young and dynamic team that I found in Ben and Tom, I am committed to contributing my best efforts to help clubs, associations, and other sports-related companies growing sustainable.
