Kings Chambers


Kings Chambers features a strong team of sports law experts who are praised for their handling of ‘complex and sophisticated matters’. They frequently represent a wide range of stakeholders and some members have also conducted proceedings before the Court of Arbitration in Lausanne. At silk level, the set is home to David Casement KC and Paul Chaisty KC; both have experience of challenging Rule K arbitrations. Martin Budworth is another name of note, with particular strengths in football, rugby, and boxing-related cases. He represented Birmingham City Football Club in regulatory proceedings brought by the English Football League following a failed takeover process in which they allowed a third party to influence club matters; he successfully avoided an immediate points deduction, and instead the club faced a suspended two-point deduction. Steven Flynn represents a wide range of clients, including professional athletes and teams, governing bodies and agents, and players’ associations, while Rosie Kight is especially skilled in advising on the employment elements of sports law disputes.
