Practice Areas
With decades of experience advising football clubs, David is renowned as one of the best in the field. He acts for a host of Premier League and EFL football clubs on all manner of legal issues. David has completed more than 60 football M&A transactions – which amounts to a large proportion of the club sale market in the English Premier League (EPL) and English Football League – and has been involved in the most complex issues in football since the early days of the English Premier League.
“My work can cover anything that comes up in the football industry and no two days are the same. I act for a wide variety of professional football clubs, and daily I can find myself working on anything from corporate M&A of football franchises, to high profile litigation to complex regulatory issues within football.
Alongside decades of experience, I am proud of the network I have made in the football industry. I enjoy building and maintaining excellent relationships with clients and my lifelong friendship with my clients
