What the Team is Known For
4 New Square Chambers is a well-resourced set known for its broad offering of sports law services. The set is known for its extensive representation of sports governing bodies, agents, individual athletes and other related organisations. The "excellent" barristers are able to support both domestic and foreign clients at all levels of the UK court system and regularly appear in the Court of Arbitration for Sport in Switzerland. One source calls the set "a go-to for complex and sophisticated sports matters." Members have deep knowledge of the legal issues arising in many sports, including football, cricket, horse racing, boxing, rugby, cycling and athletics. Members have handled cases including those relating to betting regulations, anti-doping issues, rule breaches, professional misconduct and disqualifications. Members have recently been instructed by the ITIA in relation to anti-doping proceedings brought against an athlete.
