The firm's sports lawyers are trusted legal and commercial advisors to many of the biggest names in sport.

  • 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 Henderson Scott 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.
