David Lowe > Chambers of Tom Weisselberg KC and Jane Mulcahy KC > London, England > Barrister Profile

Blackstone Chambers fields several ‘doyens of sport law’, who are ‘in a league of their own’. The set acts for all types of domestic and international clients from the world of sports, including high-profile athletes, managers and agents, teams, broadcasters and other commercial parters as well as governing bodies on all types of matters from commercial activity to regulation. For example, Adam Lewis KC acted for the European Tour in its disciplinary proceedings relating to players having played in an LIV Golf tournament despite having been refused permission to play in the rebel tournament, while Tom Mountford and David Lowe, led by James Segan KC, acted on behalf of the golfers. In Fulham FC v Jones, a leading sports injury case, Luka Krsljanin was successful as sole counsel for the club in managing to get a judgement overturned which had found Fulham liable for a reckless tackle which caused career-ending injuries to a Swansea FC youth player. Jane Mulcahy KC acts for sports regulators, organisations and individuals and was recently active in cases concerning historic allegations of race discrimination.

Barristers at Blackstone Chambers are ‘extremely strong in the commercial litigation and arbitration area’ with considerable experience appearing in arbitrations for a range of arbitral bodies under ad-hoc rules across a host of jurisdictions, including India, Bermuda, Cayman Islands and Singapore. Recent examples include an arbitration relating to Asian Football media rights in which Robert Anderson KC was instructed. David Lowe acted in an ICC arbitration in a claim for deceit, negligent misrepresentation and breach of warranty and damages of $30m with forensic accountancy and industry expert evidence and involving a jurisdiction challenge.
