Job Details

Outstanding and truly rare opportunity to join the Sports Law team of a major law firm. The position will be based in Leeds city centre but the firm has a flexible hybrid working policy and you could expect to split your time between home and the office.

The team advises across all corners of the sporting world but has a particular specialism in football, working with clients which include Premier League and EFL clubs, Players, Agents, Owners etc.

Work will be varied but will include:

- Corporate work across the sports sector (M&A transactions, finance, restructuring etc.)

- Contractual arrangements such as merchandising, sponsorship, supply agreements, catering and much more

- Sports regulatory matters

- Disciplinary issues and disputes

The team has the support of a major full service commercial law firm and works closely with colleagues in other teams, where specialist advice is required.

Ideally, applicants will have solid corporate and/or commercial experience and will be excited at the prospect of working across such a wide range of legal matters. Specific sports sector legal experience is not required but a keen interest in sports will certainly help. As a guide, our clients envisages that this role will suit a lawyer with around 1-3 years PQE.

- discuss each role with you thoroughly and get prior clearance before a CV is submitted. This is an extremely important for protecting confidentiality and avoiding duplication
- brief you fully prior to any interviews, ensuring that you know what the role entails and how the interview will be run. We also give you honest interview feedback - if you don't do very well in an interview you can always learn from the experience
