Behind the game: Explore sports law

With Linklaters

Apply to attend

Join us on the afternoon of Thursday 25 September for a virtual student event with Linklaters.

Hear from Linklaters lawyers as they share insights into the dynamic and often headline-making world of sports law. From football and rugby to tennis, Formula One and the NFL, discover the crucial roles they play behind the scenes across a range of major sports.

The panel will delve into Linklaters’ work with top teams, clubs, financial sponsors, players’ associations and, at times, individual athletes. They will offer a behind-the-scenes look at the unique pressures faced by clients in this sector, as well as the legal frameworks and regulations they must navigate.

The speakers

Tom Cassels, partner and sports sector co-head 
• Shamin Choudhury, managing associate and sports sector co-head
Georgina King, managing associate in the litigation, arbitration & investigations practice

Speakers will also reflect on their own career journeys, explain what draws them to sports law, and share practical advice for students interested in following a similar path.

After short talks and a panel discussion there will be virtual networking with the speakers, Linklaters trainees and members of the firm’s recruitment team.

Apply to attend above. You’ll be asked to submit two questions for the firm.
