Leathes Prior advises Lincoln City Football Club on landmark Stadium Naming Rights Agreement

Leathes Prior's Sports Team, headed by Dan Chapman and supported in this matter by Senior Associate, Jack Horwitz of our Corporate & Commercial Team, are delighted to have advised Lincoln City Football Club on its landmark 10-year Stadium Naming Rights Agreement with ProAmpac, a global leader in flexible packaging manufacturing.

The partnership will see the club's stadium renamed as the ProAmpac Stadium, marking the beginning of an exciting new chapter for both organisations, particularly as Lincoln City FC embarks on a first campaign in the EFL Championship.

While ProAmpac operates on a global scale, the partnership is driven by a strong commitment to the local Lincolnshire community, where many of its employees live and work. Both parties are dedicated to supporting the region and creating lasting positive impact both on and off the pitch.

Jack Horwitz said:

“This was a fascinating deal to have been involved with and it was a pleasure to support Lincoln City FC on such a significant commercial agreement. All parties approached the matter with a great level of professionalism and pragmatism, which made for an enjoyable process to get the agreement over the line. I look forward to seeing how this partnership can help the club continue to go from strength to strength over the coming seasons.”

Liam Scully, CEO of Lincoln City FC, commented:

"This is a landmark partnership for Lincoln City and one that reflects both the progress the club has made and the ambition we have for the future. It was important to have the right advice and support throughout the process.

Dan, Jack and the wider team at Leathes Prior were excellent to work with, providing clear, pragmatic and commercially focused advice that helped us navigate the agreement and formalise the relationship.

We are delighted to have secured such a strong long-term partnership with ProAmpac and are hugely appreciative of Leathes Prior’s role in bringing it together."

It was a pleasure for Leathes Prior to have played a role infacilitating this partnership and we wish both Lincoln City FC and ProAmpacevery success as they embark on this exciting journey together.
