Position
As a former journalist and editorial director, Jane brings a range of skills as well as a breadth of experience that is rare in a mediator and barrister. She specialises in sport, media and entertainment, employment, partnership disputes and human rights, using her natural intelligence and understanding to defuse frequently highly emotional cases. Given her areas of expertise as a barrister, mediator and arbitrator, it will not come as a surprise to find that she is familiar with the High Court and Court of Appeal as well as the employment tribunals and specialist tribunals and arbitrations in the sports arena, including the Court of Arbitration for Sport in Lausanne, Switzerland.
Jane sits on the English Cricket Board’s Appeals Panel in child protection cases, as well as Sport Resolutions’ Child Safeguarding Panel.
She also sits as a Hearing Officer for cases of corruption in tennis. In addition she has experience of arbitrating disputes between players and agents through her appointment on Sport Resolutions’, and the FA Premier League’s, list of arbitrators.
Jane has acted as mediator in a range of employment, sport, shareholder and partnership disputes. In facilitating settlement, she draws on her long experience of acting for both employers and employees and understands the particularly stressful and delicate nature of mediations in this field. Further, her experience in sports law matters comes from acting both for sports bodies, and individuals: she therefore understands the perspectives of both sides to a sports dispute.
