Legal support for rugby players and rugby clubs
Rugby union contracts carry more injury and medical terms than most, and a single citing can cost a player several weeks of the season.
For rugby players
- Playing contracts, including injury and medical terms
- Release, medical retirement and what follows
- Citing and RFU disciplinary panels
- Anti doping cases
- Commercial deals and image rights
- Moving abroad, and the release you need from your union or club
Agents in rugby
Under RFU Regulation 8, clubs and players in England may only use a registered agent to negotiate an employment contract, a transfer or a registration with a club.
We review agent agreements and playing contracts and give legal advice, working alongside your registered agent or the Rugby Players' Association.
For rugby clubs
Community clubs rely on volunteers to manage constitutions, safeguarding, bar and clubhouse agreements and club side discipline. We support committees with all of it, and the clubs page sets out how.
