Prior to joining Baker McKenzie, Maheta played soccer at a professional level for several European clubs, including Atletico Madrid, Wacker Burghausen and Brighton & Hove Albion. 

After his playing career came to an end, he still remained linked to the soccer world, as he worked for Charlton Athletic as a scout for the Spanish market and was a guest commentator on Real Madrid TV's international channel.
