Our team of dedicated sport specialist lawyers work with a number of clients in the sports sector. Some of our lawyers also carry out non-executive/similar roles within sports/sports-related organisations (e.g. Active Notts, Groundwork Greater Nottingham and The Lord’s Taverners), providing us with invaluable first-hand knowledge and experience of the commercial and legal issues within the sector.

We work with individual sporting associations, elite athletes and governing bodies, as well as provide in-house legal counsel for large organisations such as Commonwealth Games England, Dame Kelly Holmes Trust, SportsAid and UK Coaching across a wide range of sporting disciplines.

Our team of sports law experts appreciate and understand the issues faced by all those involved in sport, from governance matters; funding issues; employment matters; the drafting of rules, regulations, selection policies and procedures; data protection issues; brand protection, image rights and sponsorship agreements, through to individual tax and immigration advice, and managing disputes, should they ever arise.
