British Paralympic Association and Hogan Lovells UK

Richard Welfare, Hogan Lovells Partner, leads the work we do for the BPA. As a commercial lawyer, he advises the BPA on their contractual arrangements, whether with their athletes, other partners, suppliers, or their Games-time agreements.

As you can imagine, Games-time is a particularly busy period for the BPA. Their resources are pushed to the limit. This is when we work closest with them, with senior lawyers supporting them on the ground and teams of lawyers in our London office, ensuring the BPA has all resource it needs. Throughout this time, we'll help with everything from clarifying the rulebook to IP infringements.
