Willans LLP solicitors has announced a new, three-year partnership deal with local sporting giant Gloucester Rugby, becoming an official partner and legal services provider of the club.
Over the next three seasons, its expert lawyers — many of whom are recommended year-on-year by the prolific Chambers UK and The Legal 500 guides — will provide Gloucester Rugby with legal advice on commercial matters, spanning employment and corporate affairs to real estate.
Willans is also sponsoring the Gloucester Rugby Business Club, a forum for local business owners and leaders to connect with like-minded peers, as part of its three-year partnership deal with the club.
Rooted in Gloucestershire for over 75 years, Cheltenham-based Willans is an active player in the county's business community, lending its support to countless local businesses, charities and sporting and cultural initiatives, including the likes of Cheltenham Festivals, Cheltenham Rugby Club and Old Patesians Rugby Club.
Paul Gordon, senior partner in litigation and dispute resolution at Willans — not to mention a life-long Gloucester Rugby fan — said: 'We’re thrilled to partner with Gloucester Rugby and to offer our support and services to its fans, players and wider club members.
'As our firm has been growing over the last 10 years, and with our roots firmly cemented in Gloucestershire’s business community, now is the perfect time to align ourselves with the county’s most well-established sporting organisation. We look forward to cheering on the team over the next few seasons.'
CEO of Gloucester Rugby, Alex Brown, added: 'It’s a pleasure to welcome another thriving local business to the Gloucester Rugby family.
'Willans LLP solicitors have a huge presence in the Gloucestershire community, and in the sporting circle, so we’re delighted to partner with them and work together for at least the next three years.'
The news comes after Willans' employment law and business immigration team launched a brand-new service arm, which offers HR support for businesses on both a local and national scale.
