DUPLA’s positioning is built around a “lawyer-agent” model: tight roster management, clause-driven negotiation, and a focus on career stability rather than volume representation. Their public messaging also emphasizes long-term career building and hands-on involvement from the two founders.
With a small client list, the agency appears to prioritize high-touch support, frequent club liaison, and structured progression plans for U23 profiles moving into senior football.
Typical market practice in football representation is a percentage-based commission aligned with the player’s employment terms and/or transfer-related services (often discussed in the mid-single digits, sometimes higher depending on deal structure).
Dual-representation and club-side advisory can apply depending on the transaction structure, with transparency obligations varying by jurisdiction and competition rules.
No agency-specific fee schedule was found publicly for DUPLA.
Disciplinary actions / sanctions: No public sanctions found in reviewed sources.
Litigation / disputes: No public litigation or formal disputes found in reviewed sources.
