Multi-sport games -
12 Jul 2000
Addleshaw Booth & Co has today announced one of the largest and most innovative sports sponsorship agreements ever entered into by a commercial law firm.
The firm's appointment two years ago as official lawyers to The XVII Commonwealth Games, the biggest multi-sport event ever to be held in the UK, has led to the firm being granted an official sponsorship agreement as an Official Partner to the Games.
The sponsorship was announced at a reception hosted by His Grace The Duke of Westminster on behalf of Manchester 2002 Ltd, the Games' organising Committee.
Commenting on the sponsorship, Addleshaw Booth & Co Chairman Paul Lee said: 'We are truly proud to be an Official Partner of the first Commonwealth Games of the 21st Century. Our sponsorship agreement is one of the most innovative entered into by a law firm and involves an enormous commitment of resource and expertise over the next two years to help ensure that the Games are a huge success.
'The Games provide a world showcase not just for the city of Manchester, but for the country as a whole and we are delighted to be playing such an instrumental part in the whole proceedings.'
Addleshaw Booth & Co's legal advice to the Games is led by Intellectual Property Partner Robert Stoker who heads the firm's Sport and Entertainment Unit which has already brokered some of the largest and most complicated sponsorship deals in the history of the Games.
