Sexual Abuse And Harassment
Sexual abuse and harassment are prevalent in many sporting environments. Our experienced lawyers can provide support and legal guidance to victims of sexual abuse and harassment in sports, including seeking compensation and pursuing legal action against perpetrators.
Bullying And Discrimination
Bullying and discrimination are also common issues in sports, and can cause significant harm to individuals and their careers. Our lawyers can assist with legal action against individuals, organisations or governing bodies for bullying and discrimination, including pursuing claims for lost income and other damages.
