Hosted dinner with Cornerstone Research, CLF members and barristers

Hosted by Monckton Chambers, with expert insight from Cornerstone Research, this dinner discussion is held in Chelsea FC’s Directors’ Lounge, offering a rare behind the scenes view of an elite sporting institution and its trophy collection. Over dinner, the session explores how competition disputes are increasingly arbitrated, while sporting disputes face growing demands for transparency — questioning whether arbitration can remain confidential when disputes carry significant public and commercial impact. The discussion will also consider how the creation of the Independent Football Regulator may mark a shift in Football, and wider sports, litigation, with challenges to its regulatory decisions likely to be determined at the CAT, bringing increased scrutiny and reduced scope for confidentiality.
