Lawrence Stephens solicitors continue to represent a star-studded client list, reflecting their comprehensive capabilities in talent representation. Well equipped to handle significant player transfers, contractual matters and commercial deals, the firm has attracted some high-profile international athletes as new clients in 2025, including Jofra Archer, Louis Rees-Zammit and Daniel Dubois. These athletes join a list which already includes England men’s football captain Harry Kane, for whom Mohit Pasricha provides ongoing counsel on a variety of matters, including image rights, commercial sponsorships and brand ambassador deals. Pasricha is the driving force behind the team and is well-renowned for his talent and knowledge of the sector; however, associates Jake Cohen, William Bowyer, and Angélique Richardson are vital members of the practice and are trusted advisors to many of the firm’s more high-profile clients.
