Lawyers from London, Manchester, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Aberdeen and even Milan gathered at the Signet Library for the second WS Sports Law Conference, in partnership with Lombardi Associates, and supported by industry body LawInSport on 13 October.

Expert speakers included a strong female representation from Polly Handford (Head of Legal, The FA), Carol Couse (Partner, Mills & Reeve) and Gill Treasurer (Head of Legal, British and Irish Lions).  We were also privileged to hear from Paolo Lombardi (Managing Partner, Lombardi Associates), Calum Beatie (COO, The SPFL), David Thornton (Legal Counsel, The R&A), Sean Cottrell and Gabriella Lowe (both of LawInSport).   This panel of outstanding specialists were ably chaired by Ian Laing WS (Counsel, Lombardi Associates).  Thanks to all speakers, panelists and delegates who took part. We look forward to welcoming you to next year’s event.
