Our associate Juan A. Prieto Huang has been appointed by FIFA as pro bono counsel
Since the launching of FIFA’s legal aid system at the end of 2019, the list of pro bono counsel[1] has been renewed in which our associate Juan A. Prieto Huang has been appointed among over 100 applications from candidates worldwide.
As expressed by FIFA[2], “as an essential component of FIFA’s legal aid system, the newly appointed pro bono counsel will perform a crucial role in guaranteeing the rights of individuals who would otherwise lack the financial means to defend themselves appropriately before FIFA’s judicial bodies”.
We appreciate again to continue taking part of the FIFA pro bono list[3] and we reiterate our commitment to providing legal assistance of high quality to those parties who are facing monetary difficulties.
