Chapter 01 · Childhood
The computer became a school
On a Windows 98 machine I taught myself HTML, Flash and design. At 16 I was already formatting computers for a living and tutoring students.

Where I join the game
Five fronts.
One practice.
Banned isn’t game over.
Bans, hacked accounts, purchases that vanished. Players are consumers too, and they have rights.

- Refunds
- Items and skins
Talent without a contract is a risk.
A competitive career backed by a contract that protects you: employment status, image rights, prize money and exit terms.
- Player contracts
- Image rights
- Labour
Your image is worth money.
Digital influencers, streamers and content creators: sponsored content, partnerships, your name and image. Put your activity on solid ground and negotiate safely.
- Sponsorship
- Advertising
- Image protection
Big teams start on paper.
From line-up to company: incorporation, player and staff contracts, and a registered trademark.
- Incorporation
- Trademarks
- Sponsors
From pitch to publishing.
Legal structure to build, ship and raise funds: from the pitch NDA to the publishing deal.

About Bruno
The story
Bruno CassolFounder · Gamer Lawyer
“Sport does not build character. It reveals it.”
Chapter 02 · At 18
Law school and a League team
At 18 I started law school at UFSC in Florianópolis. With two classmates I put together an amateur League of Legends team: three computers in one room and practice after class. Fate would lead me to work with games in a way I never imagined.
Chapter 03 · Background
Law, AI and the game in practice
Towards the end of law school I dove into law and artificial intelligence, a path that took me to a master’s degree at UFSC. Postgraduate degrees in Labour Law, Data Protection and Intellectual Property followed, and with them the lesson no classroom teaches: understanding games and esports in practice.
Chapter 04 · Until 2023
The beginning and the groundwork
Driven by a genuine connection with games, I built an independent practice focused 100% on esports. That work led to the book “Direito e Gamers: Direito dos Jogos Eletrônicos”, on pro-player employment, image rights, doping in esports and video game law.
Chapter 05 · 2024
Expansion and leadership in the ecosystem
I founded Esports Hub LATAM, published more than 40 articles in specialised outlets and spoke on Brazil’s biggest stages, including Brasil Game Show, Campus Party, IGI Expo, PlayMinas and EXPO CIEE, while still defending accounts and reversing bans.
Chapter 06 · 2025
Institutional and market consolidation
I founded the Santa Catarina Games and Esports Federation and joined Think Games Hub as a partner. What I defended in court I now also helped build inside the industry’s institutions and businesses.
Chapter 07 · 2026
A professional practice, end to end
I professionalised the practice: faster service, organised processes and a full catalogue for people who play, compete, create, organise and develop. The same year I became vice-president of the Brazilian Games and Esports Association (ABGE) and started working as sales representative for ND Games, part of the ND+ group, a Record affiliate.

FAQ
FAQ
01Can a banned account be recovered in court?
In some cases, yes. In Brazil the player-company relationship is usually analysed under the Consumer Protection Code, and the outcome depends on the evidence and the reason for the ban.
02Do you handle international deals for studios?
Yes. Agreements with foreign publishers and platforms and trademark and software registration abroad are part of the work with studios.
03Can you help set up an association, team or league?
Yes. I handle bylaws, minutes, registration and tax ID, plus the rules and contracts so the team or league starts out properly set up.
04Do you work across Brazil and abroad?
Yes. Work is done online across Brazil and includes international contracts and registrations for clients abroad.
05How does it start?
With a short conversation to understand the case. Message on WhatsApp or book a slot on the online calendar.
06How do fees work?
Fees depend on the service and how complex the case is. They are set out in writing after the first conversation, following the Brazilian Bar fee table, with no surprises along the way.
07Is the outcome guaranteed?
No. No lawyer can promise an outcome. Each case depends on the facts, the evidence and what the other party does.
