Paris Smith has progressed from a smaller-scale sponsorship arrangement to become Corporate Legal Partner of Hampshire FA, reflecting the breadth and value of the support provided to the county FA.
As part of the partnership, Paris Smith continues to advise Hampshire FA across all areas of its business. In addition, Hampshire FA’s management workforce has benefited from tailored legal services and training delivered by the award-winning law firm.
The next phase of the partnership will see the Paris Smith brand featured prominently across a range of Hampshire FA marketing and communications collateral, as well as maintaining a presence on Hampshire FA’s sponsorship page. This resource helps grassroots football clubs access guidance on producing legally binding contracts, supported by practical checklists.
Neil Cassar, Chief Executive Officer of Hampshire FA, said: “We’re delighted to transition into a larger agreement with our partners who are a well-established, professional and reliable support in our partner programme. Paris Smith is widely regarded as a leading law firm which is evident having recently been presented with the ‘Best Law Firm as of 2026’ award for corporate excellence. As a governing body, we want to be associated to companies which demonstrate excellence, professionalism and integrity. It is one of the reasons we have long been associated with the law firm”.
