Hill Dickinson Unveils New Sport Team
Hill Dickinson has announced the launch of a new sport, media and entertainment team, to be based in the international law firm’s London City office.
The newly-established team, led by Louise Millington-Roberts, will complement the firm’s existing national offering, with particular focus on commercial and contractual issues ranging from sponsorship and licensing to event management and brand protection.
Headed by partner and regulatory specialist Richard Green, the national sport, media and entertainment team has a portfolio of clients, including global events and brands, rights holders, sporting bodies, clubs, sponsors, agents and individual athletes and artists. The team also includes high profile partners Sue Russell (corporate), and Geraldine Ryan (dispute resolution), both of whom are members of the Hill Dickinson board.
Richard commented: ‘We’re excited to announce the launch of our sport, media and entertainment team in London. We bring together a wealth of specialist experience, which, supported by our 200 year history, over 175 partners and global reach, means we have the right people in place to bring our heritage of exceptional client service to these markets. In doing so, we want to enable our clients in this space to focus on what really matters to them; what they do best.’
Millington-Roberts added: ‘I’m delighted to have joined Hill Dickinson’s highly regarded sport, media and entertainment team, and look forward to leading the London team’s contribution to delivering excellence in legal insight and service.’
‘At a time when diversity is high on the agenda for the sports industry, I am proud to be part of the firm that is leading the way in the legal industry for diversity in the workplace. As the first law firm to be awarded an accreditation under the prestigious Investors in Diversity scheme, we are proud to be this year’s official sponsor for the Women’s Sport and Fitness Foundation’s fifth annual Trophy Women report, published on 9th May 2014.’
