RPC offers its sporting clientele, composed of world-famous clubs in men's and women's games, associations and corporate sponsors, a one-stop-shop service. The team is just as adept advising on regulatory, governance and commercial issues as it is on IP rights and talent matters.

Work Highlights

  • RPC acted for all 23 member clubs in the formation of Women's Super League Football Limited and in negotiation with The FA to acquire ownership of the Barclays Women's Super League and Super League 2.
