Motorsport Law

Our team can provide specialist legal advice to clients operating at every level of the motorsports industry, from grassroots competitors to elite international teams and governing bodies. With understanding across disciplines including circuit racing, rallying, karting and endurance racing, we combine in-depth legal expertise with a practical understanding of how motorsport operates on and off the track. We can advise within the framework of current UK regulation, including Motorsport UK’s National Competition Rules (the “Blue Book or Motorsport Uk Yearbook”), alongside FIA (Federation Internationale de L’Automobile) regulations and international sporting codes, ensuring our clients remain compliant in an increasingly complex and highly regulated environment. 

We can support teams, drivers, manufacturers, sponsors and event organisers across a wide range of legal and commercial matters. This includes drafting and negotiating driver and team contracts, sponsorship and commercial agreements, and advising on regulatory compliance, licensing, immigration, transport, merchandising and employment issues. We can also provide guidance on intellectual property, image rights and brand protection, as well as data protection and GDPR obligations relevant to modern motorsport operations. We can assist in handling protests, appeals and disciplinary proceedings before Motorsport UK tribunals and the FIA, as well as managing disputes arising from contractual, technical or sporting issues.
