Regulatory & Disciplinary Proceedings

Regulatory & Disciplinary Proceedings

Governing bodies and teams will usually have rules; regulations; and sanctions governing their particular sport. It is therefore important that all of these elements are lawful, so that each stakeholder is represented fairly.

Members of Mercantile Barristers are experienced in advising clients on a variety of sporting regulatory and disciplinary matters and have advised governing bodies, player associations and participants on a variety of issues including drafting and amending of constitutions, disciplinary hearings and appeals and advocating in sports specialist arbitration panels.

Instructing our direct access barristers is the cost effective alternative to the traditional route of engaging a solicitor first. The process is just as straightforward. Here’s how the process works:

1

You Have a Legal Problem?

You can call, email, or fill out an enquiry form to tell us about your case. One of our specialist clerks will speak with you to make the arrangements to advance your case.
2

We Have the Barrister for You.

Our specialist clerk will match you with the barrister with the expertise to deal with all aspects of your case. They will also obtain and organise the papers the barrister will have to consider in your case.
3

Initial Consultation

Our clerk will agree the fee for your consultation with the barrister beforehand. The clerk will then arrange a convenient time for you to have the consultation by video call, telephone or in person.

In the consultation the barrister will assess your legal position, devise a legal strategy, and give you appropriate advice on the necessary next steps to achieve your objective.
