Our Services

Key Contact

We understand the business of sport. Our dedicated sports group have genuine expertise across the sports ecosystem, combining deep sector knowledge with commercial, pragmatic advice across all areas of the sports market. We anticipate problems before they arise, rather than just reacting to them. We have a proven track record of delivering complex, high-value matters, with a particularly strong reputation in sponsorship and international sports investment and finance - but we are equally at home handling the every-day aspects of sports business. 

Our clients span the full spectrum of stakeholders across the sports sector, including investors, finance providers, governing bodies, governmental entities, clubs, teams, individual professionals and athletes, rights holders, sponsors and agents. Our experience ranges from advising individuals to major host organisations and sporting events (and everything in between), drawing on extensive experience supporting rights holders, hosts, teams and athletes on complex commercial, investment, financing and employment matters and brand protection .

Our specialist lawyers bring hands-on practical experience to every matter. We utilise our single-office continuity and partner visibility to get things done efficiently and effectively, as well as using our knowledge and networks to seek opportunities for our clients and deliver robust, proactive solutions.

Bottom line: with the benefit of many decades of experience, we are perfectly positioned at the intersection of sport, investment and private capital, advising all relevant stakeholders who together are shaping the future of sport.
