Sports disputes practice launched with partner appointment
Kingsley Napley has appointed Tim Lowles as a partner in its dispute resolution practice, enhancing its established sports, media and entertainment offering. He joins from Level Law, where he spent six years as a partner, and has previously practised at Squire Patton Boggs and Collyer Bristow.
Lowles advises on commercial litigation and arbitration, with a particular focus on disputes in the sports and media sectors. His experience spans intellectual property and contractual disputes, as well as reputation management matters, acting for high-profile individuals and organisations.
At Kingsley Napley, he will work closely with dispute resolution partners including Helen Morris, Melanie Hart and Sue Thackeray, alongside teams such as tax disputes and investigations, criminal litigation, regulatory and corporate and commercial. Richard Foss, head of dispute resolution, said Lowles will ‘further enhance our standing as a go to firm for clients in times of crisis’.
Lowles said the move was a ‘fantastic opportunity’ to build on the firm’s expertise, adding that he has been ‘particularly impressed’ by its work in football, motor racing and the equine industries and is ‘very much looking forward’ to working with colleagues as clients increasingly require ‘joined-up advice across disciplines’.
