SPORTS LAW CONFERENCE v2.0

With our partners at Lombardi Associates, we are pleased to bring some of the industry’s most experienced and recognised figures to Edinburgh for the second WS Sports Law Conference on 13 October 2023. In an exciting year for sport, the conference is timed to take place following the FIFA Women’s World Cup and during the Rugby World Cup, and because of this we are delighted to be joined by both Polly Hanford, Director of Legal, The FA and Gill Treasurer, Director of Legal, British & Irish Lions, among other expert speakers. The comprehensive programme covers the main issues of the day for sports lawyers and their clients, including the moving regulatory landscape in football and rugby, dispute resolution, transfer contracts, disciplinary issues, and representation. Attendees will also hear from a panel featuring a line up of in-house sports lawyers, working in both clubs and professional bodies.   The conference is chaired by Ian Laing WS, Counsel, Lombardi Associates.
