Experience acting for sporting organisations

This experience has enabled our solicitors to develop specialist expertise in sports law, including representing sporting organisations in legal proceedings and disputes.
Sports injury claims
O’Hare Solicitors’ sports law experience includes pursuing and defending claims arising from injuries on the sports field.
The legal position will depend on the circumstances of the incident, the parties involved and the evidence available.
Disciplinary procedures and sports tribunals

Our solicitors can advise on the applicable rules, procedures and legal issues arising during a disciplinary or tribunal process.
