Sport is now a global industry, and our cases increasingly involve sporting bodies, clubs, managers, administrators and agents around the world.

There is an enhanced awareness of the potential for financial abuse, cheating and criminality. This has led to greater enforcement action by sporting bodies and governments in relation to corruption, match fixing and doping.

Commercial sports disputes increasingly involve allegations of complex quasi-criminality or fraud. Peters & Peters deploys expertise from our commercial disputes and criminal law teams to provide a multi-disciplinary approach to our clients’ issues.
