SPORTS stars of the future are getting advice about staying onside with the law.
Chadwick Lawrence, which has offices in Huddersfield and Dewsbury, has been running free seminars at major sports clubs across Yorkshire and beyond to educate up-and-coming sports stars about the consequences of their actions both on and off the pitch.
The presentation gives examples of on-field and off-field conduct which can get players into trouble.
Areas that regulate behaviour both on and off the pitch are also covered, including the law of contract, the criminal law, the laws of the particular game, policies which may exist within a particular club and the professional code obligations that may also apply.
The presentation also challenges players to develop their own personal code of conduct.
Neil Wilson, of Chadwick Lawrence, said: "Our sports seminars give a basic understanding of issues or events that could affect young sports players in the future as their profile grows. We believe that this grounding could be something that they draw upon time and time again."
