Sports law specialist firm Morgan Sports Law has announced the appointment of William Sternheimer as a partner and the head of its newly opened Swiss office.
William joins the firm from his former position of deputy secretary general at the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS); he initially spent ten years at the CAS as counsel, before taking on the role of managing counsel and head of arbitration, and then going on to become deputy general secretary. He has managed over 940 CAS arbitrations, more than 700 of which related to football.
Morgan Sports Law’s newest office will be based in Lausanne, Switzerland, where William will take up the role of head. He commented: ‘I am extremely excited to start the next chapter of my career at Morgan Sports Law. I have been very fortunate to work at the CAS, the ultimate arbitral body for sports disputes, for a decade and joining Morgan Sports Law was a natural next step for me to take. Morgan Sports Law is a truly international law firm which, within a short period of time, has become known globally for its expertise in sport dispute resolution and anti-doping. I look forward to spearheading the Lausanne office and drawing on my expertise to support clients, and act in cases before the CAS and other tribunals across the world.’
Founding partner Mike Morgan added: ‘We’re very pleased to welcome William Sternheimer to our growing team at Morgan Sports Law. William brings a breadth of experience in international sports arbitration that is unmatched. William’s arrival fits perfectly with our plans to keep expanding our capabilities in sports arbitrations and to keep growing our international footprint.’
