Lawrence Stephens Partners with Churchill’s Boxing Gym to Launch Free Boxing Law Clinic

Posted on: June 24th, 2025 by Ella Darnell

Lawrence Stephens are proud to announce a collaboration with Churchill’s Boxing Gym to launch a dedicated Boxing Law Clinic, providing pro-bono legal support tailored specifically for athletes in the fight game.

Hosted at the heart of the gym, the Boxing Law Clinic will offer fighters direct access to free legal appointments with our experienced professionals. Whether it’s reviewing promotional contracts, understanding a bout agreement, resolving a dispute, or discussing career moves, the clinic is designed to deliver efficient and accessible legal advice when fighters need it most.

This initiative is part of Lawrence Stephens’ ongoing commitment to empowering athletes with the knowledge and confidence to navigate the business side of boxing, and to take control of their careers, both inside and outside of the ring.

Commenting on the Boxing Law Clinic, Sports and Entertainment associate Angelique Richardson adds:

”Fighters shouldn’t have to step inside the ring without knowing their rights outside of it. Together with Churchill’s Boxing Gym, we’re creating a space where fighters can get the advice they need to take control of their careers.”

Samm Mullins, the owner of Churchill’s Boxing Gym, says:

”We’re really proud to be partnering with Lawrence Stephens on this Boxing Law Clinic. They work with a number of fighters already and really understand the boxing world — not just from a legal perspective, but from a fighter’s point of view too. This clinic is a great opportunity for our boxing community to get proper advice from people who genuinely know their stuff.”

The first clinic will take place on Monday 30 June, with 45-minute appointments available from 10am. Appointments are free, but limited — clients will be asked to book an appointment and complete a short questionnaire in advance. For prospective clients, please email sportsandentertainment@lawstep.co.uk or text/call 07510 931301 to request your questionnaire and confirm your appointment.
