Harper Macleod LLP and Scottish ClubSport partnership celebrates three-year mark
Leading Scottish law firm Harper Macleod LLP has again teamed up with Scottish ClubSport, the umbrella organisation for local sports councils and ClubSport networks across Scotland, extending the partnership between the two organisations to three years – the first conference taking place in September 2021.
The firm will be the headline partner for Scottish ClubSport’s National Conference in Perth on 7th September, the title for which is “Connect, Develop, Champion”.
Harper Macleod’s support of Scottish ClubSport complements the firm’s ongoing commitment to community and grassroots sports participation. The firm has longstanding relationships with Glasgow Warriors and Highland Rugby Club. Last year, it supported the Shetland Island Games Association at the NatWest International Island Games on Guernsey.
Harper Macleod LLP is widely recognised as Scotland’s leading sports law firm. The firm is sportscotland’s sole legal adviser for expert resource to governing bodies, and acts for a wide range of international, national and grassroots governing bodies, event organisers, associations, competitions, clubs and sportspeople.
Bruce Caldow, partner and Harper Macleod’s sports law practice lead, said: “Sport plays such an important social, economic and cultural role in our society by bringing people and communities together. Sport promotes healthy physical and mental wellbeing. It is the catalyst for social interaction and helps to create positive role models and community pride.
“Harper Macleod is extremely proud to support Scottish ClubSport. We share many of the same ideals and the partnership embodies our values of teamwork, supporting our clients or members, and doing the right thing by the communities in which we live and work.”
Gary Grieve, National Development Manager at Scottish ClubSport, said: “Harper Macleod have been a fantastic supporter of our work and it is great to continue working with them this year. We really value their expertise and support for the sector”
“Scottish ClubSport aims to be an integral support network for club sport in Scotland by bringing ClubSport Networks together to develop and champion for community and club sport. Partnership working and learning from others is key to our success and our National conference is a key date in our annual calendar to showcase the fantastic work across local sport and in bringing the national sports community together”
