A Boutique Sports Management Firm Built on Legal Expertise
STRATHMORE ®

Elite Sports Representation -
Purpose Driven
Strathmore is a London‑based boutique sports management firm providing elite representation and business oversight for a select group of professional athletes.
Within sport, we focus on football, golf and tennis — environments where contracts, commercial exposure and career decisions carry enduring legal and financial consequences.
Strathmore was founded by a senior commercial lawyer with over two decades of experience advising on complex, high‑value transactions.
That background shapes everything we do.
We apply professional‑services standards to elite sport — treating every agreement, decision and transition as a long‑term asset matter rather than a short‑term negotiation.
A Different Model of Representation
Strathmore was created in response to a structural gap in the sports agency industry.
Elite and near‑elite athletes routinely operate within multi‑jurisdictional contracts, sophisticated commercial arrangements and significant public exposure — yet representation is often volume‑driven, reactive and delegated away from senior expertise.
Our model is deliberately different.
We operate a curated client roster so that every client benefits from:
-
Founder‑led representation
-
Legal precision embedded from the outset
-
Senior judgement applied early, not retrospectively
-
Absolute discretion as a default, not a promise
We do not pursue scale for its own sake.
We prioritise the quality of advice, the integrity of execution and the long‑term interests of our clients.
How We Work
Strathmore functions as a boutique professional‑services firm, not a transactional agency.
Every mandate is overseen at partner level. Every engagement is conflict‑free.
We coordinate closely with trusted legal, tax and advisory professionals where required, ensuring structured, consistent oversight rather than fragmented advice.
This approach enables us to manage not just individual deals, but the broader commercial, legal and personal context in which sporting careers unfold.
What We Do
We provide integrated representation across four core areas, designed to operate together as a single system:
Contract Negotiation & Strategy
Playing and competition contracts, transfers and moves, endorsements, image rights and incentive structures — approached as long‑term strategic assets.
Career Strategy & Management
Career sequencing, stakeholder and governing‑body relations, transitions between clubs, tours or jurisdictions, and reputation management.
Commercial & Business Management
Commercial deal structuring, financial oversight, investment liaison, image‑rights strategy and post‑career planning.
Lifestyle & Risk Management
Relocation support, tax‑residency coordination, family continuity and cross‑border risk management during periods of transition.
Above all, we help them live a purpose-driven life to build a lasting legacy.
Who We Work With
Strathmore works with elite professional athletes who value:
-
Senior judgement over volume representation
-
Precision over deal‑chasing
-
Long‑term positioning over short‑term gain
We are intentionally selective in the clients we take on, ensuring we can deliver the standard of representation we believe elite careers require.
Purpose and Perspective
While our work demands rigour, precision and commercial discipline, we recognise that careers — and lives — are shaped by more than contracts alone.
We care deeply about character, responsibility and the long‑term impact of decisions. Our objective is not simply to help clients succeed commercially, but to support them in building careers and lives marked by integrity, perspective and lasting value.
“Teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom.”
— Psalm 90:12
This perspective informs how we advise, how we act, and the relationships we choose to build.

'but those who hope in the Lord
will renew their strength.
They will soar on wings like eagles;
they will run and not grow weary,
they will walk and not be faint.'
