Just over two years ago, The Times published this feature about my work, written by its award-winning chief sports correspondent, Matt Lawton. Twenty-five years ago, during my pupillage, I was simply hoping to get a tenancy and find work as a jobbing barrister. I never imagined that one day a national newspaper would publish a feature about me. I fell into sports law almost by accident in my first year at the Bar. I found I enjoyed it, and thought it was something I might be quite good at. There were far fewer opportunities then, and far less money in the sport, but I was interested, so I followed that path. Twenty-five years on, the landscape has changed completely. Sports law cases are now often headline news, and so many lawyers want to work in this exciting area. I feel very lucky I followed my passion back then. I was especially pleased that the feature showed me not just as a lawyer, but with another of my passions: photography, and some of my beloved cameras. #sportslaw #followyourpassions @Lawton_Times
