Smith Partnership, one of the largest firms of solicitors in the Midlands, employs over 200 experts across all fields of law for both its commercial and private clients, and is very proud to have been named again as a leading law firm in the Legal 500 report!

The full service leading law firm has a network of offices throughout the Midlands, with over 30 specialist commercial lawyers at hand to support the sporting business community with a national and regional network of associates including accountants, HR professionals and tax consultants.

Smith Partnership is very proud to represent a number of high profile regional sporting clients, including Derby County Football Club and Burton Albion Football Club as well as sporting individuals. The firm has recently supported the Derbyshire County Cricket Club with their “This Girl Can” campaign.

The leading law firm provides a full range of commercial services for these clients to resolve issues as soon as possible, including litigation support when disputes arise, credit control training as well as a debt recovery function.

The property team is also highly experienced in the need for growing sports teams to expand and develop their grounds, so for example their lawyers assisted in the move from Eton Park to the Pirelli Stadium for Burton Albion Football Club.

Smith Partnership is delighted to be headline sponsor again at the Derby Telegraph Sports Awards 2017 and to sponsor the Community category.

The Derby Telegraph Sports Awards celebrate and reward the outstanding achievements of Derbyshire’s exceptional sporting successes. Across professional and amateur sport in the area, disabled and non-disabled people will be recognised, demonstrating that Derbyshire really is home to some of the most successful sporting talents and rising stars in the country today.

James Johnson, Head of Sports Team and Partner said: “Everyone at Smith Partnership is both honoured and excited to be headline sponsors and to be backing the Community Award. Sport is close to all of our hearts and we know it plays an enormously positive role in binding the local community together and inspiring people of all ages to be active.

“These Awards are a great opportunity to celebrate the many sporting achievements we have seen in Derbyshire over the last year and, given our commitment to the local area, choosing to recognise all those who work so hard was a very simple decision.”
