Tim Howden

Tim is an associate in the sport team, specialising in the corporate and commercial aspects of sport law.

“I have a wealth of experience in M&A transactions and commercial agreements, including key sponsorship and partnership deals, predominantly for football clubs throughout the Premier League, English Football League and National League.

Working in the sport law industry is high-profile, fast-paced and often under public scrutiny, which presents a host of unique challenges for me and my clients. I recognise that each client is a unique business within the sector, with their individual challenges, goals and driving forces. That’s why working closely with my clients and becoming a genuine part of their teams is critical for achieving the best possible outcomes.

I like to communicate honestly and openly with my clients and avoid legal jargon wherever possible. I find it particularly important to never lose sight of the bigger picture, especially when dealing with high-profile, complex transactions.”
