Law firm Chadwick Lawrence was on the ball to deliver a seminar to young footballers.
Sports and employment law specialists Neil Wilson and Daniel Krigers delivered their annual “Personal Code of Conduct” presentation to Huddersfield Town’s academy scholars.
The seminar, now in its fifth year, is the brainchild of Neil and Daniel who developed the presentation to inform sporting professionals on how to avoid the pitfalls of being in the public eye – and challenges them to adopt their own “personal code of conduct” to avoid this.
For several years, Neil and Daniel have worked closely with the academy’s Karen Crossland, who is responsible for the education welfare of the scholars, as well as handling a wide range of sports law matters.
The presentation is also regularly provided to other sporting professionals and has been attended by several England captains from their respective sports.
Neil said: “Daniel and I developed the seminar with sporting professionals specifically in mind. Quite often we see such people reported in the media in various compromising situations. It is therefore important that the sports stars of tomorrow understand how to behave in the public eye and what the consequences of their actions could lead to.”
Karen said: “We have a long-standing relationship with Chadwick Lawrence who have delivered this seminar year on year.
“It’s important for our students to understand the importance of having a personal code of conduct, particularly in a career which could lead to them being in the public eye. Neil and Daniel deliver the seminar in an informal way which always prompts some great debates and questions. We look forward to next year’s!”
