We have long-standing experience in the sports sector and have advised clients on non-contentious and contentious matters in the areas of football, cricket, sailing and yachting, golf, rugby, horse racing, tennis, hockey, swimming and skiing.
We advise on all aspects of sports law, and are particularly strong in the areas of the acquisition and disposal of professional clubs and teams, ownership and investment vehicle structuring, negotiation of sponsorship deals, and sporting body governance issues.
Our clients include professional sports clubs and national sporting bodies. We have an established track record in advising international investors on cross-border investments in the UK sports sector at the highest levels (including the English Premier football league).
In addition to corporate and commercial work, our work on behalf of sport businesses encompasses intellectual property matters (including trademarks), real estate, finance, employment, immigration and dispute resolution.
