British Paralympic Association and Hogan Lovells UK

Hogan Lovells is proud to be a Gold Partner of, and Official Legal Services Provider to, the British Paralympic Association (BPA). Our relationship has existed since before Beijing 2008. Throughout this period, we’ve provided the BPA with legal advice, secondments, and volunteers across a number of areas. We have proudly supported ParalympicsGB to achieve historic performances at London 2012, Sochi 2014, Rio 2016, PyeongChang 2018, Tokyo 2020 and Beijing 2022.

Our work for the BPA has included commercial contracting advice, protection of the BPA’s iconic branding and marks, and supporting teams/athletes on classification and sport-specific regulatory challenges.

Between 2015-21, Paralympic, World, European and Commonwealth Champion swimmer Ollie Hynd MBE was appointed as the firm’s Paralympic Ambassador. Since 2018, we’ve also provided bursaries to financially support 46 incredible athletes. The bursaries help athletes with any aspect of their sporting development, including additional coaching, transportation to training camps and competitions, nutrition and equipment.

Our commitment to para-sport is also demonstrated by the pro bono support Hogan Lovells has been providing to a number of other organisations including GB Wheelchair Rugby, World Wheelchair Rugby, Boccia UK and the International Boccia Federation.

We are pleased to announce our continued partnership as a Gold Partner and the Official Legal Services Provider to the British Paralympic Association (BPA) through until the 2024 Paris Paralympic Games.
