Legal &
Compliance.

Every transfer and contract carries legal weight. Alkimist Co., backed by dedicated legal partners, ensures every deal is compliant, protected, and enforceable — at home and across borders.

Protected at
Every Step.

Behind every transfer is a stack of contracts, regulations, and jurisdictions most players never see — and where the smallest oversight can cost a career or a fee.

Alkimist Co. treats legal work as the foundation of every deal, not an afterthought. With official legal partners covering both domestic and international sports law, we make sure nothing is left exposed.

What We Cover

Legal, Handled.

FIFA Compliance

Every contract, registration, and intermediary arrangement structured under current FIFA regulations — no shortcuts, no exposure.

Contract Review

Line-by-line review of every clause. We flag risk, clarify obligations, and protect the player or club before a signature is asked for.

Work Permits & Visas

Coordination of work permits, visas, and residency across every jurisdiction we operate in — so a signed deal actually becomes a registered player.

Domestic Legal Disputes

Handling of contract disputes, breaches, and disagreements within Korea — backed by our official legal partner, IROUL Law Firm.

Cross-Border Structuring

International transfers carry the legal weight of two or more countries. We structure deals so they hold up everywhere they touch.

Dispute Resolution

When disagreements arise, we resolve them — through negotiation first, and formal proceedings only when necessary.

CAS Arbitration WON

Unpaid Wages — Middle East

A professional club in the Middle East failed to pay a player's salary. We filed with the Court of Arbitration for Sport (TAS-CAS) and won — recovering the full amount owed.

FIFA Claim SECURED

Solidarity Contribution

Secured a youth academy's unclaimed solidarity contributions after a developed player transferred abroad — filed through the KFA to FIFA. Proof that youth-development compensation must be actively claimed, not assumed.

Contract Dispute RESOLVED

Wage Delay — China

A Chinese club delayed player wages and agent fees while holding a falsified contract. We voided the fraudulent agreement, restored the legitimate contract, and recovered the delayed payments.

Representation TERMINATED

Player Protection

When a club acted unfairly toward our player, we exercised the player's rights as their representative — executing a clean contract termination to protect their career.
