We are able to offer our sports-related clients an all-round legal service, drawing on specialist skills from around the firm. We understand the sporting sector and the needs of those operating within it, because members of our team have played sport at a competitive level and so, have faced many of the issues themselves.

We’re passionate about the sports industry – almost everyone at the firm plays sport or is an ardent fan. This, combined with our strong corporate, intellectual property, employment, and dispute resolution skills, mean that we are well-equipped to advise on the full range of issues confronting sporting clients.

Our clients include sporting event organisers, developers of sports facilities, clubs and associations.
