Meet Angélique

I am a Senior Associate in the Sports & Entertainment team at Lawrence Stephens.

As a former elite athlete competing in synchronised swimming and fin-swimming, I am able to bring a unique perspective to my practice and my athlete clients. I represent a number of professional athletes on a wide range of matters including high-profile boxing promotional agreements, anti-doping disputes, and multimillion-pound arbitrations. For both athletes and talent in the entertainment and media space, I provide commercial and holistic advice in relation to reputation management, strategy and career development.

As one of the UK's leading sports lawyers, I am now a trusted advisor to a number of notable sports and entertainment clients. I have also been appointed to the Sport Resolutions Pro Bono service. A legacy of the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games, the service provides pro bono legal advice and assistance to athletes and individuals of limited financial means.

“I really appreciate the support we got from Angélique. Having a professional to explain the contract and talk me through each section allowed me to understand exactly what I was signing. That gave me the confidence I needed to just focus on my game, and it was a relief to know that all the details were correct and things are in place to allow me to be successful.”
