Regularly advising on image right agreements, complex sponsorship strategies, and wrongful termination claims, the Brodies LLP team is hailed for its ‘professionalism and attention’. Edinburgh-based practice head Andy Nolan specialises in sports law, commercial contract, and IP matters. Craig Watt routinely assists with litigious proceedings in the worlds of football and golf, and Glasgow-based Ross Campbell chiefly focuses on defamation and asset recovery cases. Since joining from Dentons in June 2023, Ally Burr has also been highlighted for his data protection work from Inverness.
Testimonials
Collated independently by Legal 500 research team.
‘I have worked with Brodies on a sports centre planning project. Their experience and expertise in both local and national planning procedures and regulations are second to none. Their professionalism and attention to detail along with willingness to respond or attend out of hours is both reassuring and impressive as is their ability to coordinate a large and varied group of stakeholders on our behalf.'
‘Brodies’ work is of an extremely high standard. Obviously, they advise on the legal aspects of any particular matter, but they are also extremely commercial in their approach and take time to understand our business, our challenges and think of ways to overcome them (from a legal perspective).’
'Ross Campbell's advice is pragmatic, commercial and very user-friendly.'
