Leeds lawyer joins arch.law sports as agency launches

arch.law has launched a new sports agency to help athletes protect and grow their careers, offering legal expertise, commercial representation and career management. 

The agency provides a full-service model covering contract negotiation, regulatory compliance, sponsorship, image rights, immigration and dispute resolution, supporting athletes, clubs and organisations across the UK, Australia and beyond.

Richard Cramer joins from Front Row Legal in Leeds, bringing extensive experience in rugby league and soccer, as well as reputation management and media law. 

He said: “This is about giving male and female athletes at every stage the support they deserve. 

“We’re creating an agency that understands the demands of sport but also the risks - whether that’s a Hyrox competitor building their profile, a footballer entering the professional arena, or a rugby league player managing a cross-border move. 

“With arch.law behind us, we can give athletes the same level of professionalism and trusted advice that’s usually reserved for the very top tier.”

The team is further strengthened by Paddy Moylan, in Australia, alongside Alexander Grantham, Zak Leech and Harry Leaitherland in the UK, who focus on athlete recruitment, contract negotiation and sponsorship deals.

arch.law sports offers a legal-first, end-to-end service, guiding athletes from their first professional contracts through to post-career transitions, ensuring long-term security while unlocking commercial opportunities.
