Spear’s Review

A highly regarded reputation lawyer at Farrer & Co, Julian Pike has built a specialist practice within the sports industry, where he acts for a number of national governing bodies, top-tier teams and professional athletes.

Aside from reputation management issues, his work includes contractual and regulatory disputes, with particular expertise in governance, disciplinary and integrity issues.

Pike frequently acts for clients facing the risk of reputational harm, dealing with adverse media coverage and managing high-profile public appearances (for example, an appearance in front of parliamentary select committees).

He tells Spear’s that he takes a holistic approach to securing his clients’ long-term interests, working with a network of specialist media and PR advisers where necessary.
