Under what condition is an agent exempt from the licensing requirement imposed by FIBA?

An agent is exempt from the licensing requirement imposed by FIBA if they are licensed to practice law in their country. This condition acknowledges that licensed attorneys possess a certain level of professional training and expertise relevant to handling contractual and legal matters in sports. Because these individuals are already qualified to navigate the legal landscape, FIBA recognizes their legal credentials as a basis for exempting them from the additional licensing requirements typically imposed on sports agents. This exemption underscores the importance of legal knowledge in the role of an agent, particularly in ensuring that the rights and obligations of players and other parties are clearly defined and upheld within contracts and negotiations.
