Job description

Sports Litigation - Partner

We are exclusively instructed by an elite law firm based in Central London, looking to bring in key partners to continue to grow its presence in London.

Our client is a leading boutique practice that provides specialist advice to corporations and individuals. The firm is recognised across prestigious legal directories, acting for global corporations, UHNWI/HNWIs, and handling high-value, multi-million-pound claims before the Court of Appeal and Supreme Court.

The firm is looking for a Sports lawyer to lead the department and build a team of Associates, handling a variety of matters including advising on contract negotiations, disputes, regulatory compliance, disciplinary proceedings, and arbitration.

This opportunity is open to Senior Associates / Legal Directors, to take a step up and join the firm as a salaried partner. You should therefore have extensive knowledge and strong experience in sport and football, particularly the legal issues involved, as well as strong networking skills and the ability to generate leads. A client following is essential for this opportunity.

Culturally, whilst an ambitious and professional team, the partners are very down to earth, offering the ability to work from the firm's offices or remotely.

The Candidate

  • Sports Lawyer with extensive experience gained from a reputable city firm
  • Ability to promote and generate work
  • Contribute to the overall firm strategy of growth
  • Support the development of junior fee earners in the team
  • Collaborate with other partners and fee earners in the wider firm

The Benefits and How to Apply

  • Excellent basic salary dependent on experience
  • Flexible and hybrid working – 2/3 days in the office
  • Supportive and open collaborative culture

Apply in the strictest of confidence online or via telephone – there is no need for a CV for an initial conversation.
