Leeds-based law firm Clarion has advised on the sale of Harrogate Town AFC, one of a handful of transactions that has been approved by the new Independent Football Regulator.

According to Clarion, the Independent Football Regulator is taking on its newly developed role overseeing the English football regulatory landscape, and the sale marks an important step in the evolution of football regulation and the way deals are conducted for both sellers and buyers.

The Clarion sports law team advised Harrogate Town AFC and its former owner throughout the deal, helping the Yorkshire club to navigate the new regulatory framework and evolving requirements facing football clubs, owners and investors.

“This is a significant transaction and an important milestone for English football as the new independent regulatory regime continues to take shape,” said Geoff Cunningham, partner and head of sport at Clarion.

He added: “We are proud to have represented Harrogate Town AFC, a proud Yorkshire club, on one of only a handful of transactions to have been approved by the new Independent Football Regulator. As ever, we are delighted to be at the forefront of advising clients as the regulatory landscape evolves.”
