We have been advising teams, drivers, manufacturers and sponsors from the F1, F2, World Rally, BTCC, Le Mans, IndyCar, Indy Lights and Formula E formats from our Silverstone office for over 20 years.

From contracts to sponsorship and recruitment, our expert lawyers help our clients excel at the highest level in one of the most popular sports on the planet. Speed, accuracy and passion are not just the keys to success on the road – they are the foundations of our track record in the motorsport industry too.

Commercially focused motorsport law expertise

In the modern world, race teams need to be more than fiercely competitive on the track. They need to be legally compliant, with robust contracts and agreements, and make the best use of their intellectual property and other brand assets.

We have a deep understanding of motorsport as both fans and trusted strategic advisers to teams, drivers, manufacturers and sponsors. Working from our Silverstone office we provide clear, pragmatic and commercially minded advice to our clients, helping them operate with confidence.

The breadth of the expertise that Blaser Mills Law brings to the table allows us to offer complete support to each of our clients. For teams, manufacturers and sponsors we provide full commercial legal and strategic assistance regarding people, assets, disputes, contracts and agreements. For drivers, this means not only negotiating contracts but protecting privacy and image rights.

Winning a race comes down to more than the individual performance of the driver. Success is built through the effective collaboration and shared passions of race teams, manufacturers, sponsors and more. The legal and commercial services we provide help facilitate better working, better strategies and better results.

An excellent team, with an outstanding client list. Blaser Mills has a very good track record in the area.
