Charley Turton

Charley acts for claimants and defendants in cases involving or arising from sports injuries. She sits on the 12KBW sports law committee.

Led by William Audland KC, Charley is instructed by the Rugby Football League to defend a large group of claims by former professional players alleging that they suffered neurological conditions as a result of repeated concussions and sub-concussion during the course of their careers.

Charley successfully defended a local leisure centre against a claim brought by an injured gymnast who alleged that her gymnastics instructor negligently assisted her in performing an aerial cartwheel, leading to serious knee injury. The trial judge was persuaded that the claimant’s was “a classic accident” arising through no fault of the instructor.

Her expertise in international and travel law means that Charley is well placed to deal with claims arising from sports activities abroad.

Charley is herself a keen sportswoman. She plays football (11 and 5-a-side), competes in triathlons, practises yoga, and enjoys regular cycling and hiking. She can also ski, water ski and windsurf.
