Finance

Northridge has a leading sports finance practice, advising lenders, investors, clubs, leagues and governing bodies on some of the sector’s most innovative and complex financing transactions.

We combine deep knowledge of the sports industry with sophisticated financing expertise. Our team has acted on hundreds of transactions across multiple jurisdictions, supporting the deployment of billions of pounds of capital across football and the wider sports sector. This experience gives us a practical understanding of both the commercial realities of sport and the requirements of financing counterparties.

Unlike generalist finance practices, our team is dedicated to the sports and media sectors. We understand the unique revenue streams, regulatory framework and commercial dynamics that shape financing transactions across the industry, enabling us to deliver advice that is both technically robust and commercially practical.

We advise on the full spectrum of sports finance matters, including receivables financings secured against media rights, sponsorship, matchday and player trading revenues; acquisition and corporate financings; stadium and venue developments; export credit-backed structures; financial restructurings; and bespoke financing solutions.

Few firms offer the same combination of sector knowledge and financing expertise. Whether supporting day-to-day liquidity requirements, growth capital initiatives or transformational strategic projects, we help clients structure, negotiate and deliver financing solutions that support their strategic objectives.
