“My work can cover anything that comes up in the football industry and no two days are the same. I act for a wide variety of professional football clubs, and daily I can find myself working on anything from corporate M&A of football franchises, to high profile litigation to complex regulatory issues within football.

Alongside decades of experience, I am proud of the network I have made in the football industry. I enjoy building and maintaining excellent relationships with clients and my lifelong friendship with my clients
