National law firm Clarke Willmott LLP is strengthening its foothold in the global sports and events industry, confirming its attendance at the Major Events International (MEI) Events Summit 2025 in Manchester this November.
The move comes as the firm builds on a run of high-profile sports sector activity, including its recent sponsorship of and attendance at MEI’s Hosts & Federations Summit 2025 in Lausanne, Switzerland – a flagship event at the Olympic Museum that attracted more than 250 international delegates, from rights holders and governing bodies to host cities and global suppliers.
With Manchester’s reputation as a powerhouse for sport, events, concerts and investment, Clarke Willmott’s presence at the summit underscores its commitment to supporting the region’s dynamic sports ecosystem and contributing to conversations shaping the future of major event delivery, both locally and internationally.
“Manchester’s sports industry is booming, and the opportunities for collaboration have never been greater,” said Stephen Green, Commercial and IP Partner at Clarke Willmott and member of the Clarke Willmott Sports Sector Team and Pro-Manchester Sports Industry Committee. “The MEI Events Summit brings together some of the most forward-thinking minds in the Sports sector, and we’re looking forward to attending and exploring how innovation and insight can drive the next phase of growth.”
