Sport – the global sector attracting the cream of global law firms

“No matter which sporting matter is on the horizon, Linklaters is at least a thought leader within it; our sports blog keeps clients in touch with everything of global relevance.”

In the month during which the English Premier League turned to Linklaters to bring new charges against football club Leicester City for breaches of financial fair play rules, it is appropriate that we catch up with the firm’s extraordinary expertise across one of the world’s most high-profile global industries.

On the alumni website, we talk to Düsseldorf-based Sinziana Ianc and her London counterpart Shamin Choudhury, two of Linklaters’ sports sector leaders, to pick their brains on some of the industry’s key recent developments. From football to Formula One, dispute resolution cases to big-ticket transactional advice, Linklaters is rarely far from the action and we trace the firm’s startlingly rapid progress in this arena over the past decade.

A global pursuit – the continued rise in importance of the sports sector to Big Law
