WISLaw
I have almost 15 years' experience in all aspects of sports law as an arbitrator, counsel and independent investigator.
I am on the list of arbitrators for the Court of Arbitration for Sport (General and Football Lists), the Deputy Chair of Football Australia's National Dispute Resolution Chamber, a member of the AFLPA's panel of arbitrators, and have presided over dozens of ad hoc tribunals. I was formerly a national selection panel Chair for the Tokyo 2021 Olympics, and the secretary of the Victorian Bar's Sports Law Section.
My clients have included domestic and international governing bodies, sporting clubs, individual athletes and athlete associations across a wide array of disciplines. My approach is informed by real-world experience within sporting organisations and as a sportsperson; and a blend of legal expertise and experience on cases spanning all categories of sporting disputes including contracts, employment, doping, selection, discipline and misconduct.
