The Manchester based law firm has many years of experience in acting for sports and media personalities, clubs and leading brands and offers advice on issues such as transfer negotiations and contracts, image rights, sports sponsorship and stadia naming rights.

Speaking exclusively to Soccerex.com Ben Haworth, Head of Sport at JMW comments "We are thrilled to be joining the Soccerex global partnership structure. Their worldwide reach and strong brand name will play a vital role in the growth of our sports law department. I have been attending their conferences for many years and have always found them to be invaluable in terms of doing business in the world wide football arena. With the European forum coming to Manchester in March 2010 for the next four years we felt the timing was perfect to work along side this leading football business brand. It is great for Manchester that Soccerex is coming to the city as it further enhances Manchester's reputation on the international football scene and as a Manchester based firm we are elated to be involved."
