What the Team is Known For
The barristers at Littleton Chambers have a strong pedigree when it comes to sports law disputes. Sources praise their ability to "easily navigate complex matters at short notice." They act for sporting organisations and individuals on commercial, employment and sport-specific regulatory issues. Members are "trusted to handle the most complex sports cases," such as those involving anti-doping charges, wrongful dismissals, defamation, breaches of contract and others. The set has broad experience across many sports, such as football, rugby, athletics, cycling, gymnastic and boxing. Members regularly appear in the UK courts as well as before the Court of Arbitration for Sport in Switzerland. Members of the set have been involved in the Scottish Women's National Football Team's employment case against the Scottish FA.
Jason Drakeford is the senior clerk.
