As head of our Sports Group in London, I advise governing bodies, event organisers and others active in the sector, across all major sports, on a range of commercial, regulatory and contentious issues.

In what could turn out to be an important case for the sports industry on the use of sporting data relating to individual players, a group of over 400 current and former football players are reported to have joined a proposed group action which intends to target 'gaming, betting and data processing companies' who use player-related data for their own products.
