Sport focus
Sailing
Class rules and measurement disputes, protests and redress, syndicate agreements and event participation.
Sailing disputes run through the racing rules, measurement and class regulation, with international juries and national authority appeals rather than ordinary courts.
We act in protest, redress and measurement matters, in campaign and sponsorship contracts and in class and eligibility disputes.
