We work with some of the most important and valuable cases in women's sport including:
- Eni Aluko in her action for bullying and racism against the FA and the former England women’s head coach
- On and off field support for the likes of Steph Houghton, Lucy Bronze, Leah Williamson, Lauren Hemp and Ellen White
- The England Lionesses in the negotiation of their central contracts with The FA
- Advising on the negotiation of the standard terms of the Women’s Super League playing contract
- Establishing an independent tribunal to hear the final stage appeals of female athletes regarding an Olympic selection dispute
We have niche expertise in reputational management and have advised household named national and international female players on a range of reputational issues. Matters include defamation, privacy and press disputes involving the top media organisations. We have also implemented protective strategies because of iCloud hacking and personal sensitive data breaches.
We are founding members of Women in Sports Law, a not-for-profit organisation which provides opportunities for female sports lawyers. The national sports team is led Carol Couse who is widely recognised (including in the legal directories and Who's Who Legal). Her and the team regularly speak on issues affecting women in sport.
