Sport

We have a team of several members of chambers from silks to juniors with particular specialism and interest in different aspects across the entire breadth of sports law from commercial, regulatory and disciplinary matters to the loss of Bobby Moore’s World Cup football shirt and expertise in quantifying complex loss of earnings claims for sporting professionals.

We have experience acting for numerous Premier League, EFL and National League football clubs, football agents, golf club directors and athletes from across the range of sports, including football, rugby league, rugby union, cricket, tennis, athletics, boxing, lacrosse, swimming, cycling, golf, snooker and even dog training.  Members have acted in cases involving assessments of lost medal and sponsorship opportunities and have profound awareness of the unique aspects of a sporting career and remuneration.

The practice group is led by Thomas Horton, who is ranked as a leading junior in Sports in Chambers and Partners and Legal500.  Thomas has appeared before numerous sports’ governing bodies’ disciplinary panels and before specialist arbitration panels, including FA Rule K arbitrations.

Where needed, 3 Hare Court can also draw on expertise from other members with specialist practices in personal injury, employment law, reputation management, commercial law and insolvency law.
