Our managing partner Niall sat down this month with The Irish Times Neil Briscoe to talk about regulations and governance in motorsport.
Take a read in the link.
Being appointed to one of the FIA’s top judicial bodies, give Niall responsibility for ruling on major disciplinary and regulatory cases in world motorsport, including Formula One.
His role places him among the small group of international judges who decide high‑stakes disputes, from team protests to driver penalties and governance challenges.
The article charts his career path, highlighting his Irish legal background, his expertise in sports regulation, and how he progressed into senior international motorsport governance roles.
He now adjudicates cases involving some of the most powerful figures and organisations in global motorsport, meaning his decisions can influence championships, sanctions, and the interpretation of FIA rules.
The piece emphasises the significance of an Irish lawyer holding such a globally influential position, reflecting Ireland’s growing footprint in international sports governance and regulation.
