“I joined O REI because of my first experience with moot court. At the time, I did not know that, beyond all the drafting and soft skills I would develop, O REI would truly shape me as a sports law professional. I started as an intern at JMPM Advogados, and I now manage an international sports law team, working on cases before CAS, CAF and various arbitration and dispute resolution bodies. I feel fortunate to have chosen this programme.”

“I want to thank O REI Sport Law Institute for this programme. They have built a master where people interested in Sports can really dive into this field and challenge themselves with practice experience. This master is not only a programme with a Professor delivering a lesson, it is more than that. Each lecture is a discussion between colleagues. I had the opportunity to work for a law firm after the master and I felt well prepared to every challenge I had to face. What was really different is that I had to the chance to discover and done real life exercises from different issues in Sports Law. Above all, I had the opportunity to build real relationships among the students, the lecturers and the directors of the master.”
“My year at O REI Sports Law Institute was a real step forward in my development, not only as a future sports lawyer, but also as a better person entering the legal industry with new skills, discipline, and confidence. The programme gave me direct exposure to the practical side of sports law: football regulation, CAS procedure, arbitration, transfers, contracts, governance, and real case-based advocacy. What I value most is that O REI created a space where students are not only taught by professionals, but also connected with them, through classes, moot courts, discussions, and direct insight into how the sports law industry actually works. I am grateful to the founders, faculty, mentors, and the entire O REI family for the trust, the high standards, and the opportunity to grow. O REI helped me become more precise, more confident, and better prepared for the professional challenges ahead. ”
