Episode 19 - Demystifying the Litigation Process
Welcome to Sportopia, the place to re-imagine the future of sport! This week’s episode welcomes a conversation to demystify litigation processes in sport. Hosted by Dina Bell-Laroche and Steve Indig, partners of Sport Law, this episode welcomes Sport Law Team Member, Michelle Kropp, LL. B., to talk about how litigation can happen within our sport system. Michelle has been a member of the Sport Law team since 2020 and advises a diverse client base, including various not-for-profit and sports organizations, during dispute proceedings as well as providing guidance on general governance issues. Throughout the episode, our hosts ask Michelle to share her experiences as a litigator, how being trauma informed can support these processes, and some of the common themes she sees in her work.
