Work Highlights

  • gunnercooke represented Richard Hannon and the owners of the horse Etonian in a long-running anti-doping claim brought by the British Horseracing Authority. The panel eventually cleared Mr Hannon of all wrongdoing with no sanctions imposed, which was the first time that such a finding had been secured for the trainer.

James Pheasant is well known for his sports regulatory work and for representing athletes and horse trainers in anti-doping matters. He is also recommended for commercial and insolvency disputes.

James provides an excellent level of service.

James is the absolute best in every regard. I cannot recommend him enough.

Outstanding advice and prompt, efficient service at all times.

By far the best I have worked with because of the way he can relate to people, his ability to explain really complex matters in a simple way, his integrity and his capability.

From our first conversation, I not only felt understood but also that James genuinely cared for me and my situation. I am so glad to have him in my corner and can't recommend him highly enough.
