Less than a year after launch, Three Points Law secures rankings across its two core sectors

Three Points Law has been recognised in the 2027 guides by both of the legal profession’s leading independent directories, Chambers and Partners and Legal 500, in the two sectors at the heart of the firm’s practice: technology and sport. The dual recognition is particularly significant given the firm was launched less than a year ago, and with the publications concluding that Three Points Law is a “firm to watch”.

Technology

Simon Leaf has been recognised by Chambers and Partners for Information Technology & Outsourcing in London, with the guide noting that he “represents technology buyers and vendors across the range of commercial IT law matters” and has experience advising on emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence and blockchain. Clients described him as having “a clear strategic vision and a strong understanding of how legal, commercial and operational considerations intersect, particularly in complex technology related matters”, and as “highly commercial, decisive and excellent at cutting through complexity to get to the right outcome quickly”.

Three Points Law has also been ranked by Legal 500 for IT and telecoms in London, with clients describing Simon as “diligent but sensible” and “strong on technology deals”, praising a team that “listened intensely, asked great questions, and understood the exact requirements”.

The recognition reflects a busy year on the technology side of the practice, including acting for some of the world’s largest technology vendors and fast-growth AI businesses, as well as continuing to advise blue chip companies on the ‘customer’ side too.

Sport

In the Chambers and Partners UK Guide, Three Points Law’s sport practice has also been ranked alongside much larger and more established peers. The rankings note that the firm “has become a go-to sports law boutique”, advising on commercial sports law transactions and regulatory disputes with a particular focus on football, boxing and motorsports.

Within the department, founding partners Simon Leaf and Tom Murray have both been individually ranked in Chambers and in Legal 500. Simon has been described by Legal 500 as “an outstanding sports law practitioner who combines deep sector expertise with excellent commercial judgment”, while Chambers’ client interviewees call him “a superb sports lawyer” and say he’s “the first sports lawyer I will pick up the phone to call if I require assistance”. Tom, recognised as an up-and-coming individual, is described by clients as “a brilliant lawyer with an excellent bedside manner” who is “relatable, reliable and to the point”.

The sport team’s work that contributed to this ranking included advising the likes of Marcus Rashford, AI-driven sports technology platform Kabuni and advising several top clubs on high-stakes profitability and sustainability regulatory issues, underlining the firm’s standing in sports financial regulation as well as commercial sports work.

A rare double

For a firm built around the conviction that technology, sport and commercial law increasingly intersect, from sports technology and esports to AI and data in commercial dealmaking, these rankings validate that cross-sector proposition at an early stage in the firm’s life.

Commenting on the news, Simon Leaf, Founding Partner at Three Points Law, said:

“To be ranked by both Chambers and Partners and Legal 500 in technology and in sport, within a year of launching, is an extraordinary endorsement of what Tom and I set out to build. We are enormously grateful to our clients, who took the time to speak so warmly to the researchers about the work we have done together; this recognition belongs to them as much as to us. Since this research was undertaken, we have also welcomed additional lawyers to the team on a full-time basis, and with that added strength we are hopeful of building on this recognition again next year.”

Tom Murray, Founding Partner at Three Points Law, added:

“We built Three Points to combine deep sector expertise with a modern, technology-enabled way of working, and seeing that recognised so quickly by two of the most respected names in legal research is a brilliant milestone for the firm.” Three Points Law is a tech-enabled law firm specialising in technology, sport and commercial law, serving fast-growth technology companies, elite sports professionals, clubs and rightsholders. The firm continues to grow its team following its launch in the autumn of 2025.
