I write various articles for competition, media and sports law journals. These include The World Sports Law Report, The Entertainment Law, Sport Business, and The Entertainment and Sports Law Journal.

l have contributed to the following publications. Topics include:

I have delivered papers on European football broadcasting rights, multiple club ownership, European competition law issues relating to broadcasts outside an exclusive territory and third party ownership rights issues stemming from the Tevez decision.

I am the editor of a monthly legal football column called On the Ball at FootballAid.com which I co-author with various lawyers at Field Fisher Waterhouse LLP. On the Ball is a more informal take on legal issues in the football industry. Articles include Football and Drugs, Compensation for Football Injuries, Broadcasting Auctions, and the Transfer Window. All On The Ball articles are available here. You can also download the latest On the Ball brochure here.

I have lectured at Birkbeck University on the interplay between football, broadcasting and EC competition law as well as players rights in the EC in the field of football. All power point presentations of my lectures are available here.
