Sport

We provide a full service to sports clients ranging from governing bodies (the England and Wales Cricket Board) to participants (The Arsenal Football Club, Tottenham Hotspur FC, Christian Klien). The scope of our work is extremely varied.

We advise on:

• every aspect of the commercial, corporate, financing, construction, tax, competition, broadcasting, merchandising, image rights and sponsorship activities of major sporting entities
• on-field matters (such as player contracts, transfers, registration issues and disciplinary actions)
• other sporting authority disciplinary and arbitration proceedings
• regulation of participants by sports governing bodies

Our Sports practice is made up of a multi-disciplinary legal team of specialist corporate, commercial, intellectual property, financing, litigation, competition, tax, property and construction lawyers. This approach puts us in a unique position to provide the complete range of sports law advice and a full service sports law practice.

With our Infrastructure, Energy and Natural Resources practice we also have extensive experience advising in relation to the building of sports stadia.
