Chadwick Lawrence Solicitors

I joined Chadwick Lawrence in May 2011, becoming an Associate with the firm in October 2015 and a Partner in October 2017.

I help businesses and individuals with their regulatory and compliance issues both on a contentious and non-contentious basis. I recently acted for an international sports star in relation to an anti-doping matter brought by UK Anti Doping and also specialise in GDPR advice.

I have a particular interest in advising sports clubs and professional sports men and women and act for a number of the regions leading rugby union and rugby league clubs. I also have experience of advising sports clubs in high profile dismissals of both players and coaching staff, as well as advising sports clubs on immigration and disciplinary matters brought by sporting governing bodies such as the Football Association, the Rugby Football League and the Rugby Football Union.
