Strategy instead of noise. Results instead of promises.
Dmytro Shkrebets is an attorney at Shkrebets & Partners. He specializes in sports law and the support of football clubs in their international dimension. Among his clients is the Estonian football club FCI Levadia Tallinn, whose interests Dmytro represents in its capacity as a member of European Football Clubs (formerly European Clubs Association) — the organization uniting European clubs participating in competitions under the auspices of UEFA.
Dmytro's approach is built primarily on out-of-court resolution — and this strategy delivers results. Only one case has gone to the judicial track, passing through two instances — FIFA Dispute Resolution Chamber (DRC) and the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) — both with positive outcomes for the client.
Education
Dmytro holds two Master's degrees — in law and in philology. This combination is a working advantage in international sports law, where one must simultaneously deal with English-language documentation, the regulations of international sports bodies, and the nuances of communication between parties from different legal cultures.
- Master of Laws (with honors) — Faculty for Training Personnel for Justice Bodies of Ukraine, Yaroslav Mudryi National Law University.
- Master of Philology — Faculty of Foreign Languages, V. N. Karazin Kharkiv National University.
Specialization and Clients
Dmytro's work is focused on sports law, with an emphasis on the football industry and its international regulatory dimension. This is a specific field in which effectiveness is determined not only by knowledge of national legislation, but also by an understanding of FIFA and UEFA regulations and the practice of international sports arbitration.
Dmytro represents the football club FCI Levadia Tallinn (Estonia) — a club that is part of European Football Clubs (EFC) (formerly European Clubs Association, ECA), the organization uniting European football clubs participating in competitions under the auspices of UEFA.
Cases
- FIFA DRC + CAS — a client's case that went through two instances of international sports jurisdictions with a positive result.
Approach to Work
Dmytro's approach is grounded not only in legal precision, but also in the ability to see the situation in a wider frame — to feel its dynamics and correctly identify which instrument will be effective in a particular case. He equally values the ability to understand the parties' interests and the readiness to take a clear legal position where there is no room for compromise. The combination of flexibility, strategic thinking, and principle is what Dmytro considers the foundation of his work.
