FAQ

What is the Basketball Arbitration Tribunal (BAT)?
The Basketball Arbitration Tribunal (BAT) is an independent dispute resolution body based in Geneva, Switzerland, established under the auspices of the FIBA (International Basketball Federation).
It was created to provide a fast, fair, and cost-effective way to resolve financial disputes in professional basketball, particularly those involving:
  • Players
  • Agents
  • Coaches
  • Clubs
BAT litigation funding offers support to players, agents, coaches, and clubs with up front filing fees and legal expenses associated with pursuing a case before the Basketball Arbitration Tribunal.
We consider applications from:
  • Professional basketball players
  • Agents and representatives
  • Coaches and team staff
  • Clubs or organizations involved in BAT disputes
Eligibility depends on the strength of your claim, the enforceability of an award, and the overall merits of the case.
Our funding typically covers:
  • BAT filing and administrative fees
  • Legal representation costs
  • Other approved case-related expenses
No. Our funding is non-recourse, meaning you only repay if you win your case or receive a monetary settlement. If you lose, you owe us nothing
The amount varies depending on your case. Funding can range from covering just the filing fee to full legal representation costs, depending on the claim size and complexity
In exchange for the risk we take, we receive an agreed-upon percentage of the award or settlement if your case is successful. This percentage is set upfront, with no hidden fees.
Every case is unique, and we will tailor our proposed terms for funding based on various factors including the risks of your case, likelihood of success, size of the case, perceived ease/difficulty of collecting a BAT award, etc. We take an overall % of the BAT award in addition to the reimbursement of any BAT fees and costs awarded by the arbitrator. The prevailing party in a BAT case is typically awarded all or most of their fees and costs.

Attorney fee arrangements will be made on a case by case basis. We typically work with attorneys on a contingency basis, meaning their fees are a percentage of the BAT award. Typically, the prevailing party in a BAT case is awarded attorney fees, which will cover all or most of the contingent attorney fees.
