case 1
The organizer conducted sports competitions without the necessary permits, as a result of which he received an official order to suspend his activities.
Tournaments are conducted on completely legal grounds.
After the official recognition of the league:
In order to eliminate violations and legalize activities, the league's registration procedure was carried out in accordance with legal requirements. The rules of the competition, regulations and safety standards were agreed with the Ministry of Sports, which allowed to obtain the status of a professional sports organization.
The level of organization of events has increased significantly, which is confirmed by the participation of leading athletes and increased spectator interest.
Thus, the legalization of activities allowed not only to eliminate legal risks, but also to bring the project to a new level of development.
Contracts have been signed with television and media companies providing extensive media coverage of events.
Major commercial partners and sponsors have been involved

case 3
A team of lawyers and experts from Yang Consult has carried out extensive work:
The athlete received a two-year suspension due to a bureaucratic error in the documents, although he did not violate the anti-doping rules.
I have carefully studied all the circumstances and identified violations in the registration procedure.
Justice has prevailed — the disqualification has been lifted, and the athlete has returned to big-time sports, having received the right to participate in international competitions. This is a victory not only for the athlete, but also for the entire team that fought for his honest name!
She prepared an appeal to RUSADA, collecting additional evidence and independent expert opinions.
She obtained a review of the case in WADA, proving that the disqualification was based on formal errors, and not on a real violation.

case 4
Our team has carried out painstaking work to eliminate all the shortcomings and prepare a new application.:
Thanks to our work, the client not only corrected the mistakes, but also received a guaranteed grant, and the city received a new sports ground.
Komsport rejected our client's grant application due to formal errors: inconsistencies in the estimates, insufficient justification of the social significance of the project and errors in paperwork. Without financing, the construction of a football field was in danger of disruption.
Examination and submission — we conducted a preliminary check of the application through contacts in the administration to avoid new mistakes, and submitted the documents in a timely manner.
The Ministry of Sports of the region has received an official letter on the inclusion of the project in the sports infrastructure development program.
The application was approved – after careful revision, the new submission passed without any comments.
The project was implemented on time – a modern football field has been built and is already hosting matches of local teams.
The money has been allocated – the client has received full financing.
Document adjustments — revised estimates, added calculations, justified the economic efficiency and social benefits of the project.
