CLARKE WILLMOTT ADVISES ON WILLIAM HILL’S £5 MILLION STEEPLECHASE SPONSORSHIP

The specialist sport team at Top 50 law firm Clarke Willmott has advised on William Hill‘s £5 million, four-year sponsorship of the country‘s premier steeplechase event.

The deal will see the bookmaker sponsor the annual two-day Winter Festival at Kempton Park racecourse, which features the showpiece King George VI Chase.

It follows Clarke Willmott‘s recent success in securing sponsorship deals at other leading events in the racing calendar, such as the Tattersalls Millions at Newmarket and the Coral Eclipse at Sandown.

Ravi Mohindra, a partner in the sport team at Clarke Willmott, said: “This is evidence that sports sponsorship is alive and well and that, despite the tough economic climate, major sponsorship deals can be still be secured, providing  commercial rights are structured properly.”

This year‘s King George VI Chase, which takes place on Boxing Day, will see Kauto Star attempt to join Desert Orchid in the history books by winning the three-mile race for the fourth time.
