    Description

    What does the role involve?

    We are looking for a Senior Associate/ Principal Associate specialising in sports law, in one of our 7 offices, working withMark Hovell,Carol Couseand other members of the Regulatory, Public and Commercial Disputes NSL.

    Mills & Reeve's sports team represents players' associations, individual sportspeople, clubs and agents on a wide range of sports law matters including regulatory issues and contractual matters, image rights and marketability, as well as on personal matters. The ideal candidate will also handle media & entertainment work. We also have extensive experience advising leagues and governing bodies in relation to corporate governance matters.

    Main duties and responsibilities

    Applicants will be expected to apply in depth knowledge in sports law and be familiar with trying to reach commercial solutions for clients in sometimes difficult and pressured conditions. The work will cover, amongst other things, participating in regulatory disputes and conducting international and domestic dispute resolution (including litigation, arbitration and mediations) in various courts and tribunals (primarily domestic sports tribunals, FIFA, UEFA and the Court of Arbitration for Sport). The ideal candidate will also have experience handling media & entertainment work. Applicants must have prior demonstrable experience in this field and strong connections in the industry will be an advantage.

    Why should I apply?

    As a successful and growing team we attract work from significant clients and from all offices of Mills & Reeve. The work is varied, interesting and intellectually stimulating.

    This is a great opportunity to join a forward thinking law firm. The firm has been named as one of the 100 Best Companies to Work For in the Sunday Times' annual survey, and is one of only a small number of organisations nationally to have achieved a listing for 20 years running, and the only UK law firm.

    What experience is required?

    We are looking for a highly driven and motivated associate who will thrive in an international, fast paced and exciting team.

    The successful candidate will have very good regulatory and/or dispute resolution experience from a leading law firm or in-house team, having handled complex regulatory/contentious sports law matters and ideally media & entertainment experience. We are also looking for someone who could generate introductions and potential new work streams for the team. This would represent an excellent opportunity for career advancement whilst working in a friendly and collaborative team.

    If an appropriate applicant has sufficient experience and credible network of contacts, it is not necessary to be a qualified solicitor. However, it will be necessary to complete the requisite courses to qualify as a UK solicitor.

    What skills and attributes would I need?

    • Degree or equivalent grades from an overseas university
