FARRER APPOINTS PARTNERS

Tagged in &

Farrer & Co sports law specialists Robert Datnow and Serena Hedley-Dent both became partners in the UK firm's Sports Group from May 1, 2005.

Datnow, who was previously head of legal at the British Olympic Association, will focus on commercial and contentious work for sports bodies and major sports event organisers and bidders, which he combines with his athletics career.

Hedley-Dent advises sports governing bodies on regulatory and commercial matters - in particular, doping and other disciplinary cases - as well as on corporate structures, constitutions and rules. She also advises a number of sports clients on the exploitation of their commercial rights.
