Thomas Barnard
Spear’s Review
At Irwin Mitchell, Thomas Barnard is a ‘rising star’ working as a dispute resolution solicitor. He focuses on the world of sports law, often dealing in high-profile cases – for example representing FC Benfica or writing laws for the International Netball Federation.
Barnard has tackled cross-border disputes in sports as well as dealing in contractual matters, professional negligence and insurance claims. He has also represented figures in the music industry and publishing sector.
Away from his clients, Barnard acts as a non-executive director for the London Football Association, writes a quarterly column for FC Business on legal issues affecting the football industry and has frequently appeared on live TV and radio reporting on sports matters.
