How JMW Can Help

Our skilled specialist sports lawyers understand the unique nature and specificity of sport. Our lawyers are used to providing advice on a wide range of disputes such as breach of contract, financial disputes, intellectual property, passing off and image rights disputes, advice concerning reputation management and claims on death.

Our services include advice and representation in relation to:

• Contract disputes - Contracts in sports are commonplace, and it is important that the terms of the contract are in the best interests of all parties involved. However, disputes can arise if a party feels the terms of a contract are unfair or are not being adhered to by the other party.
• Disputes with agents - Agents play an important role in modern sport and are employed to serve the best interests of the party they represent. Disputes can arise, however, if the actions or intentions of an agent are called into question.
• Social media issues - Social media is a welcome outlet for many sportspeople and sports clubs, but the very nature of the medium raises the risk of legal action if used inappropriately. Seeking legal advice and representation on any such matters is therefore highly recommended.

At JMW, we have a professional, dedicated team of sports dispute solicitors, who offers both legal expertise and a strong passion for and understanding of the sports ecosystem. We approach all of our cases by creating close working relationships with our sports clients and providing a VIP service.

We have helped many individuals and organisations to settle disputes appropriately and efficiently, taking care of all the legalities so that you can get on with what you do best. That said, we believe teamwork and communication are key, so we will work alongside you and keep you updated on any developments to ensure a successful outcome can be reached.
