Clarke Willmott are specialist solicitors for the sports sector. We provide a full service that is proactive, sharp and cost effective for all your legal issues, from sports employment disputes and disciplinary matters to stadia construction projects; from commercial contracts and sponsorship agreements, to advising on high profile sports club insolvencies.

With more than 25 years of experience working with sports clients, our reputation within the marketplace is reflected by the calibre of the individuals and organisations we work with (please see examples below). We frequently advise some of the biggest names in professional sport on English law and our clients include professional sports clubs, leading professional players and sports celebrities, elite athletes, national governing bodies, international sports agencies, professional associations, and leading global brands.   

Professional sport is an international business, with transactions often involving acute timeframes. We provide practical, commercial solutions and offer extremely high levels of service, allowing issues to be resolved as quickly as possible.

Our team is responsive and committed to long term relationships. We want to know what’s important to you so we can help you achieve your aspirations.

Many of our solicitors have a sporting background, have worked inhouse on leading global sports events, and/or have competed at an elite level in sport. We talk your language, understand your goals, and the special considerations needed when you operate in the business of professional sport.
