Very knowledgeable across all areas of sports and sports-affiliated industries. They are always available, responsive, and sensitive to timing requirements for client input.
We used them for a matter with cross-border aspects, so it was important we had a firm that had the appropriate resources for this. It was quite niche work, which they handled well.
They have a team of staff with varying levels of experience and from different backgrounds, which helps enormously when it comes to sport and the diverse membership we have.
The firm has highly sophisticated and skilled employees who are all extremely self-motivated and driven. We even get proactive support from time to time, raising awareness for us, when appropriate.
