Capital Law Limited's multi-disciplinary sports team provides 'user-friendly and practical' advice to professional clubs, individuals and regulatory bodies across a wide range of sports, including football, rugby and cricket. The firm is sole legal advisor to Glamorgan Cricket Club and Cardiff City FC, and continues to advise the latter across a range of non-contentious and contentious matters, including the ongoing high-profile litigation with FC Nantes surrounding the tragic death of Emiliano Sala and the subsequent liability for the transfer fee. Commercial litigator and IP expert Wayne Beynon heads up the sports offering at the firm and is pivotal to much of the work handled for Cardiff City FC. David Lewis  is also a key contact for sports-related work and represents numerous high-profile sports individuals across a range of employment and general commercial contracts work.

Displaying a 'genuine commitment, passion for, and interest in Wales, the culture and sport', Loosemores Solicitors has developed an impressively strong client base in the sector, including among many national sporting bodies/organisations. Much of the success for the firm's prominence in the space is down to the skills and leadership of senior partner Mark Loosemore, whose 'specialist experience in sport and media work is highly valued across the sector'. Although he is involved at the sharp end of much of the key commercial work handled by the firm, Loosemore is perhaps best-known for his continued representation of the Football of Association of Wales across a range of matters including drafting and negotiating sponsorship and licensing contracts and media rights agreements. Other key practitioners include associate Rebecca McCarthy, who leverages her 'in-depth knowledge of charity law' to good effect, including on governance issues; 'very committed and hardworking' litigator Karl Thomas, who is regularly involved in significant sports disciplinary cases and regulatory disputes; and Siôn Tudur, who will 'go the extra mile for clients' engaged in corporate and commercial work in the sector.

Led by litigator Paul Hopkins and drawing from the expertise of numerous practitioners from many different practice areas, Geldards LLP's multi-disciplinary offering provides an 'extremely knowledgeable' service to an impressive roster of sporting clients. Although the firm does handle some work for sports clubs, it is perhaps best-known for its representation of governing bodies and sporting charities, including Sport Wales and the British Boxing Board of Control. The firm also handles sports management work through Engagesport, the wholly owned subsidiary established in 2012.

Overseen by corporate partner William Barletta  and leveraging expertise from the firm's wider property, litigation and employment teams, among others, Morgan LaRoche deploys a multi-disciplinary approach to work in the sector. Carmarthen-based corporate and commercial partner Christopher Evans is a key contact, and is adept at advising local sports teams and governing bodies across a range of issues, including the recent 'invaluable advice' he provided to a local amateur rugby union club on its decion to incorporate as a company.
