What the Team is Known For

The barristers at 2BR are well suited to complex cases at the intersection of sports law and criminal law. One source praises their "promptness, diligence and great deal of expertise," while another highlights the "extremely knowledgeable yet friendly" barristers. The set has been instructed in many high-profile cases regarding leading sports clubs, governing associations and individuals active in sports such as football, tennis, cricket and others. Members often act in cases concerning corruption, match fixing and betting, regulatory breaches and other disciplinary proceedings. Members recently acted for the EFL in its prosecution of Birmingham City FC and 3 individuals for breaches of the Owners and Directors test.

John Grimmer is senior clerk.

Jim Sturman KC is an outstanding criminal lawyer widely regarded as the go-to barrister for football disciplinary hearings. He has experience acting for both defendants and governing bodies, and also assists clients with investigations and allegations of corruption and breach of ethics. He is active both nationally and internationally.

Jim's knowledge and cross-examination skills are great. If you want someone to get stuck into a heavy case, he's the one.

Jim understands football well and is really experienced. It was reassuring to have such a knowledgeable barrister.
