We operate a Pro Bono Legal Advice & Representation Service to benefit athletes of limited financial means who are involved in proceedings.

Our pro bono legal advice and representation service provides a list of experienced sport lawyers who may be willing to assist individuals of limited financial means before Sport Resolutions panels and other NGB tribunals.  

The list includes many members of the London 2012 Pro Bono Legal Advice & Representation Service operated by Sport Resolutions during the Olympic and Paralympic Games. 

Whilst we hold the list and may put individuals in touch with relevant legal advisors if requested, Sport Resolutions takes no responsibility for any advice given or arrangement made between an individual and a legal advisor.
