10 | TFL TALKS to Professor Jack Anderson

Hello lovely listeners and Happy New Year! Today on the show we are doing things a little differently – our first guest interview with our very own Sports Law lecturer, Professor Jack Anderson. Jack has been instrumental in the creation of the podcast and hence it was only fitting that he was our first guest.

We sat down with Jack just before Christmas to talk all things Sports Law. Throughout the chat you will hear about Jack’s career as a university lecturer, his time working as an Arbitrator for the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) and his expert opinion about the latest sporting disputes and news that are sure to dominate headlines in 2020. We had so much fun recording this episode and we hope you enjoy getting to know Jack.

Wanting more of the TFL? We will be back in your ears in two weeks’ time but as always, to stay up to date with our latest news simply tune into our social media accounts. Stay safe over the holiday period and we will see you soon!
