We represent clients from a variety of organisations and disciplines, from huge football and rugby clubs right the way down to crucial grass-roots clubs.

At our core, we help you through legal processes from beginning to end, offering expert legal advice and representation.
Our specialist sports lawyers and contract solicitors take the time to fully understand our clients’ concerns and considerations so that we can help them to accomplish their legal aims to their fullest capacity. Due to the nature of the industry, a lot of cases will attract significant media attention, so another one of our core principles is to guide our clients through these complex legal processes in a diplomatic and skilled manner and we take pride in having utmost professionalism throughout.

Arbitration is gradually starting to become a more used forum for fixing commercial disputes. Unlike litigation, arbitration procedures produce quicker outcomes, all whilst being confidential.
At Blacks Legal, we have successfully arbitrated a range of disputes, where we have come across the most sensitive, intricate and high value contractual disagreements. We recurrently act on behalf of international companies, sports people and high net worth individuals in all the main arbitration forums, including those subject to the rules of the ICC, UNCITRAL, the various forums for settling sports disputes and ad hoc arbitration.
At Blacks Legal, we guide you through the arbitration process, helping you navigate the rules and providing hard-headed advice throughout. We also act in post-arbitration proceedings to include appeals and the enforcement of awards.
