Our in-depth knowledge of the sports industry and general employment law expertise allow us to advise on all aspects of sports-related employee relations and, especially, playing contracts.

Our team has advised on the drafting and negotiation of numerous high-profile player contracts, including on behalf of current and newly-signed Premier League football players and International rugby stars, and in relation to player/agent contracts for football, rugby and cricket players. 

We are also well-placed to advise individuals and organisations who find themselves tied to an agreement which contains a clause restricting their freedom to exploit their talents in the way they wish. Work has included providing advice to Premier League footballers and Premiership rugby players.
