As trained, qualified, and practicing lawyers, our consultants have more than a decade of experienced in developing and drafting governance and integrity policies. From updating and amending NIF templates ensuring compliance and support of ASC templates, Game Integrity can support your policy needs.

As leaders in the space, our consultants can also assist with emerging issues in sports governance and integrity, including:

• concussion management

• human rights

• technology

• climate change

• IP

• sportswashing

This is a key area for the efficacy of your sport’s integrity program. Our consultants have direct experience in supporting sport across various acting National Integrity Management roles. From our experience, we truly understand how critical this key function is.

Game Integrity can help manage one-off complaint assessment, case categorisation, communications, and outcomes.

Or, we can manage your complaints as a whole via an outsourcing arrangement: triaging parties, assessing matters, and manage low category Complaints and escalating medium and high level matters, while providing regular reports and updates.

We have significant experience in successfully running external and independent investigations across many NSOs and SSOs.

Our consultants are effective and knowledgeable in dealing with such matters. We manage investigations with a trauma informed focus so as to mitigate further risks, where appropriate.

From basic reviews as to gap analysis against ASC benchmarking to structural reviews, our consultants are experienced in identifying and delivering better governance outcomes for sporting organisations, allowing sport to focus more on the delivery of organisational objectives.

If your sport is federated, unified, or governed under a hybrid approach, we can support with governance reviews and recommendations.

As sports lawyers, our consultants have significant experience in mitigating the risks of disputes arising and managing any disputes which do arise.

In this way, and with our experience, we assist sport to manage conflict across member grievances, integrity sanctions, and conduct tribunals and judiciaries more effectively than non-legal consultants.

We can also provide services to review existing tribunal arrangements to develop new tribunal and dispute resolution processes and policies to ensure the quick, fair, and efficient resolution of disputes in your sport.

Our Lead Consultant, Mat Jessep, teaches Sports Law, Governance, and Integrity at UTS and UNSW. Mat previously designed and delivered Victoria University’s Sport Integrity & Ethics masters course.

Mat is also an Associate Member of the Australian Centre for Olympic and Sports Studies at UTS.

Our consultants have also designed and delivered training and education programs on governance and integrity to NSOs and SSOs, supporting knowledge gaps in NIF training and other threats to sport.

We have experience in acting as National Integrity Managers for sports while there is a gap in personnel in the role.

Our experience includes all facets of the NIM role - internally and externally, acting as the NIM for sport.

In this way, you can provide a seamless experience for your sport’s members and stakeholders as they navigate the NIF and other integrity matters.

We also provide a full handover and training where a sport fills the role with a full time resource.
