Tom MountfordBlackstone Chambers ‘Outstanding pleadings as well in direct examination and cross examination. Very thorough, precise and systematic.’

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.
