Sport Resolutions welcomes new member to its Board of Directors


Sport Resolutions is pleased to announce that Jack Anderson, a well-known sports lawyer and professor at the University of Melbourne, has joined its Board of Directors. 

Jack is a very experienced sports arbitrator, mediator, educator and commentator. 

He has previously served as legal counsel at Racing Victoria and is currently a member of the International Hockey Federation’s Integrity Unit and the International Federation of Horse Racing’s Council on Anti-Illegal Betting and Related Crime.

Audley Sheppard KC, independent Chair of the Sport Resolutions Board of Directors, said “We are delighted to welcome Jack to our Board. We will benefit from his extensive expertise and experience in international sports law and dispute resolution as we continue to expand our services globally”.

“I’ve known Sport Resolutions for a number of years, and its values and independent approach to dispute resolution align with my own. I’ve seen its impressive growth in recent years, and I look forward to contributing to that growth as a member of the Board” said Jack Anderson. 

In addition to his role at the University of Melbourne, Jack is an arbitrator for Football Australia on employment disputes and a member of the National Sports Tribunal of Australia. Prior to joining Sport Resolutions’ Board, Jack stepped down from his roles as an arbitrator on Sport Resolutions’ international panel and the World Athletics Disciplinary Tribunal.
