19 January 2026

Kingsley Napley is pleased to announce that Tim Lowles has joined the firm as a partner in its Dispute Resolution practice, further strengthening its established offering in the sports, media, and entertainment sectors.


Tim joins from Level Law where he spent the last 6 years as a Partner. He previously practised at Squire Patton Boggs and Collyer Bristow.

Tim advises on all aspects of commercial litigation and arbitration with a particular focus on disputes arising in the sports and media sectors. His experience includes intellectual property and contractual disputes, as well as reputation management matters. He has acted for a wide range of high-profile individuals and organisations and is ranked as a Next Generation Partner for Sport in the latest Legal 500 directory and as a ranked lawyer for Defamation/Reputation Management by Chambers and Partners.

At Kingsley Napley, Tim will work closely with other Dispute Resolution partners, including Helen Morris, Melanie Hart and Sue Thackeray. His practice also has great synergy with other teams at Kingsley Napley such as Criminal Litigation, Tax Disputes & Investigations, Regulatory, Employment, Immigration, and Corporate & Commercial, where we already have a strong and growing track record acting for clients in the sports, media, and entertainment sectors.

Richard Foss, Head of Dispute Resolution at Kingsley Napley, comments:

I would like to extend a warm welcome to Tim, who will further enhance our standing as a ‘go to’ firm for clients in times of crisis. We are excited to have him on board to help take our practice in the sports, media, and entertainment sectors from strength to strength”.

Tim Lowles comments: 

This is a fantastic opportunity for me to build on Kingsley Napley’s wide-ranging expertise and help take it to the next level. I have been particularly impressed by the firm’s work in the football, motor racing, and equine industries. I am very much looking forward to working with my new colleagues at a time when sports sector clients increasingly require joined-up advice across disciplines such as private wealth, reputation management, tax, commercial contracts, real estate, family, image rights and criminal litigation.”
