Legal Services for Racecourses

Regulatory Issues

With many years of experience of Jockey Club and HRA enquiries we understand the various issues facing racecourses under the Rules of Racing. Our team is recognised as one of the best in the country and has represented countless industry professionals in enquiries at Portman Square and Shaftesbury Avenue.

Corporate and Commercial

Running a business requires decisions to be made from the outset regarding funding and on-going commercial contracts. It’s our job to understand the likely long term implications of those decisions and arrange the right deals for you.

Employment and Human Resources

Failure to adhere to relevant employment legislation can be extremely damaging. Our Employment specialists are recognised nationally for their expertise, and can provide support with both Employment law and HR matters. With our understanding of the racing and bloodstock industries, we can tailor that advice to the issues that you are likely to face.

Sponsorship

Sponsorship income is extremely important to racecourses and we have specialists in place to help negotiate and advise upon sponsorship, merchandising, concessions and other commercial agreements.

We recognise the importance of clearly defined documentation detailing the relationship at the outset, and the need to facilitate long term relationships wherever possible.

Property and Development

Your premises are probably the most important item on your balance sheet. We can help you navigate the regulatory minefield that can exist when attempting to maximise the opportunities presented by diversification. We know where problems are likely to arise and will always advise proactively giving practical commercial solutions.

Construction

Increasingly chosen by major national organisations in preference to City based law firms, we are recognised as ‘really making a mark’ in this sector by one of the main independent guides to the legal profession.
