London

Clients range from multinational, Global 1000, and Fortune 500 enterprises, start-ups, public sector bodies and governments. The firm regularly help blue-chip sponsors and portfolios companies operating in the mid-market on acquisitions, sale processes and investment deals, both domestic and cross-border in nature.
The firm’s sports lawyers are trusted legal and commercial advisors to many of the biggest names in sport. Clients include sports leagues, clubs, franchise owners, Olympic and world event organizers, international and national governing bodies, stadium developers, investors, banks and esports companies.
They advise on all aspects of staging major global sports events, from structuring commercial exploitation programs and protecting IP, through to stadium development, and sports regulatory and administrative issues at the highest level. The firm’s lawyers have a particular expertise on local and international sports media rights, as well as commercial partnerships rights, sponsorship, licensing and IP.
The team are now looking to recruit a senior Sports Regulatory solicitor into their practice in London.

Reviewing and revising existing regulations including anti-doping and disciplinary regulations
Advising governing bodies on proposed sanctions to be brought against individuals
Advising sportspersons on non-selection and qualification issues
Defending individual sportspersons against disciplinary, doping and anti-corruption charges
Advising brands in relation to the limitations on the activation of sponsorship rights imposed by local and national advertising laws and regulations.
Mentoring and training more junior members of the team.
The successful candidate will be a senior lawyer or partner with a portable client following. You will have gained extensive experience in sports regulatory matters from a highly regarded legal sports practice in London.
Please apply as directed or confidentially contact Catherine Knowles at Search Legal for more information. Alternatively, if this role is not for you, I am working a variety of other Sports opportunities with ranked teams in the City London so would be interested to talk to any Sports lawyer looking to step up to a partner or counsel role.
