On Tuesday 1 July 2025, The Press Justice Project will bring together leading legal practitioners, reputational experts and sporting heroes for a half-day conference event to explore the challenges facing sportspeople and their representatives in dealing with media intrusion and inaccuracy.

Hosted at Saffery Accountants in London from 2pm to 6pm, this conference will explore how reputations are shaped and damaged in sport, and how individuals and their representatives can protect themselves from press abuse.
