With dedication and hard work, Dan is a respected lawyer in the sports law sector. He has put together his own specialist team of sports lawyers drawing expertise and talent from different teams at Leathes Prior, to provide a fully comprehensive service to an increasing number of national clients.

Dan and his team’s well earnt reputation as not only East Anglia’s leading sports law specialists, but also as a serious nationwide practice, is founded on their extensive experience dealing with cutting edge sports matters. The team’s expertise encompasses a vast array of matters spanning dispute resolution, employment, regulatory, commercial and more within the sporting sector, and working with amateur and professional clubs, associations, regulatory bodies and to individual sports professionals across the UK.

Dan is one of a small group of solicitors in the country who regularly and successfully provides representation before Sports Tribunals (such as the Motorsport UK National Court or at FA Arbitrations); his skill and experience in that regard is sought after. Find out more about how Dan can help here.

Dan Chapman said: “At our LP Sports practice, our ethos is about leading people to be the very best they can be in their sport. We understand the pressures and urgency of the legal matters that the sporting client has to deal with and are invested in finding the best possible solutions in the quickest timeframe.  I am often asked what makes a good sports lawyer – in my opinion a sports lawyer is usually a multi-disciplinarian (think of a decathlete) but has a solid history in one area of law (such as employment law in my case, though it could be commercial law or commercial litigation for example), works well under intense pressure and in high profile situations and who is as good in a court room / Tribunal as they are analysing documents and problem solving. At LP Sports we are confident we bring all of those qualities to the table, representing our client’s best interests fearlessly.”
