The Client

I am working exclusively with a recognized Sports related Organization who is looking to add an exciting lawyer to their regulatory team.


This role will allow you to work on "big ticket items" where you can see the projects spanning across disciplinary, investigations, arbitration, financial reg and much more! You will work closely with sports regulators as well as sports teams.


This is a fantastic opportunity for a lawyer who is in private practice or in-house who would love to work in a dynamic industry but is looking for that opportunity to showcase their varied contentious experience.
