Christopher Foulkes

Sports Law

Chris acts for players in disciplinary matters before the Football Association Disciplinary Commission, and has also advised and represented the Football Association in on- and off-field disciplinary matters against players and clubs.

He represented the FA before the Appeal Board in relation to an appeal by a club against a deduction of points which led to its relegation from the league, and acted for the FA in proceedings before the Disciplinary Commission against two players charged with on-field offences.

He recently represented a player charged with a disciplinary offence which could have led to sanctions with very serious consequences. The player was able to continue playing.
