Tods Murray is delighted to announce the appointment of former international cricketer and broadcaster, Paul Allott, as Advisor to its Sports Law Team.  Paul (pictured above) played cricket 26 times for England in Tests and One Day Internationals, and appeared in two Ashes winning series against Australia.  He is also among a select band of bowlers who have taken over 500 first class wickets for Lancashire.  Amongst his media achievements he has been an integral part of the “Sky Sports Cricket” commentary team for 10 years.  Paul recently was in the West Indies for the ICC Cricket World Cup, where he worked for Sky Sports.

Paul commented: “I am delighted to have this opportunity to work with Tods Murray and to assist with the promotion and growth of the Sports Law Team.  It is an exciting time for sport generally in the UK with the 2012 London Olympics and Glasgow’s 2014 Commonwealth Games Bid.  I have known Tods Murray’s partner David Rogers for ten years and am excited at the prospect of working with David and the rest of the Sports Law Team.”
