Alex Kelham
Sport is at the heart of my work (and my life!). I'm known as a leading sports lawyer, focusing on the exploitation of commercial and IP rights but I also work across media, technology and advertising, My 'sweet spot' is where these intersect with sport, for example negotiating sponsorship deals in highly regulated sectors, drafting complex sports tech contracts, and advising on ambush marketing. I'm principally a commercial contracts lawyer, but also provide specialist advertising / media / broadcast regulatory advice. I was once an elite athlete and bring that energy and focus to my legal work – I'm commercially minded and see winning as getting the 'right' outcome based on my client's business objectives. Having spent 7 years in-house at London 2012, I also appreciate the pressures clients are under to get things done! · Lewis Silkin
