Newcastle United FC v the Premier League

The dispute in these high-profile arbitral proceedings concerned which entities would own and/or have the ability to control the club following a takeover. The case settled in October after the Premier League received legally binding assurances that the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia will not control the Club.

Shaheed Fatima QC, Nick De Marco QC and Luka Krsljanin acted for Newcastle United FC. Adam Lewis QC, Jason Pobjoy and Marlena Valles acted for the Premier League.
