Himsworths Legal is delighted to welcome former general counsel of Liverpool FC Natalie Wignall to our team.
Himsworths Legal was launched in August 2012 by Matt Himsworth, who had previously practiced for ten years at media law firm Schillings in London. The firm has since grown to a staff of six, including former ITV lawyer Jessica Lovell and ex-Taylor Wessing solicitor Lorna Caddy, and the firm continues to grow its reputation, particularly in the sports industry.
Natalie is a trained barrister with extensive experience of working in-house – having worked at multi-national corporations Marconi and Thales. Natalie is best known for her work as general counsel for Liverpool Football Club where she was also a member of the club’s executive team for six years. For the past year Natalie has been working as director of legal and business affairs for well-known golf brand, Lynx Golf.
Himsworths Legal has been very fortunate to work closely with Natalie for a number of years and we are delighted that she has agreed to work with us on a senior consultancy basis. Natalie will be offering her vast experience in commercial and sporting matters to a number of our clients and will continue to work for Lynx Golf.
The firm’s managing director, Matt Himsworth said ’Natalie is a shrewd operator, an experienced executive, and is able to offer a high class corporate and commercial legal service to our clients. She will add tremendous value to the firm’s already diverse skill set and we are very excited to bring her on board. We believe it is a real coup and shows the ambition of our firm’.
Natalie said: ’I very much welcome the opportunity to work with Matt and the team at Himsworths. I developed a great working relationship with them during my time at LFC and I always admired their client service – I look forward to helping the firm realise its ambitions as it continues to establish itself as a first class provider of legal services in the sports sector.’
