Jodie provides accessible, commercial legal advice for those working in the sport, as appreciation and demand for better structured relationships and contracts between parties grows.

Jodie is a Band 2 ranked lawyer in the 2023 edition of Chambers & Partners, who have referred to Jodie as “sought out by clients because of her first-hand knowledge of the industry.”

Jodie said:

"Joining Level allows me to continue to combine my equestrian and legal interests in a firm designed for lawyers working in the sporting world.

I am looking forward to the next stage of growth for my equine law practice, using my personal knowledge of the equine world, and understanding of the context of equine-related issues, along with my extensive first-hand knowledge as a rider, yard, owner, breeder, and employer."

Amy Sullivan, Level’s Head of Growth said:

“We are delighted to welcome Jodie to Level. She is one of the industry’s most knowledgeable legal experts in her field. Jodie will be the first equestrian specialist at Level, adding another string to the Sport team’s bow.”
