Testimonials
Collated independently by Legal 500 research team.
‘Daniel Draper has a great understanding of the boxing industry. Really strong on boxer/promoter disputes. ’
‘I was very impressed with their legal knowledge and commercial approach to the recent matter upon which I instructed them. Daniel Draper adopted a very friendly, personal and pragmatic approach to our case. The firm were extremely quick to answer my queries by phone and email and were very transparent on fees. ’
‘Daniel Draper has an excellent knowledge base of both the relevant legal principles but also the practical elements of the sporting sector - this assisted us in progressing our matter to the desired resolution and was a refreshing change from some firms which may have pitched themselves as technical legal experts but failed to appreciate the relevant elements of the sporting field of play. He was always at the end of the phone and was quick to reply to emails - this level of service goes a long way. ’
