This is the sixth episode in the fourth series of The Fountain Court Podcast. It is hosted by Daniel Carall-Green, a barrister at Fountain Court with a broad practice and a particular specialism in competition work where he is currently instructed in various class actions. The episode features a recording of a live streamed discussion which took place in November 2024, hosted by Fountain Court and Sport Resolutions.
Joining Daniel in the discussion is fellow Fountain Court member John Mehrzad KC, a leading silk in the area of sports law. John regularly advises on financial disputes between clubs, managers, players and agents in domestic arbitrations or before international fora, and is frequently instructed in regulatory disputes. His work also extends to conducting reviews and investigations in sport, as well as acting for national governing bodies and international federations.
During the session, John and Daniel reviewed the historical relationship between competition law and sport, including the way the relationship has changed over the decades, with a special focus on the last couple of years, in light of the changing economic and geopolitical context. They also discussed some recent decisions and what may be coming down the line in the near future.
