Rupert Butler
Barrister, Head of Legal Practice
Rupert Butler has been in private practice as a Barrister since 1988, working at the self-employed bar out of 3 Hare Court, and as founder and principal of Leverets.
Rupert was one of the first barristers to be licensed to conduct litigation and to accept instructions directly from the public, which has led to him appearing in many high profile civil claims, criminal cases and public inquiries.
With substantial experience in litigation and advisory work in the fields of company law and corporate insolvency, Rupert’s practice covers a broad range of chancery and commercial litigation, including insolvency and company-related disputes, claims for breach of directors’ duties and minority shareholders’ actions, breaches of warranty, the enforcement of guarantees and security, liquidators’ claims, civil fraud, asset recovery and constructive trusts.
Rupert also specialises in sports and entertainment work, particularly acting for national governing bodies of sport, sports stars and agents, in all aspects of the business of sport and entertainment, regulation and disciplinary matters. He is recommended in Chambers UK Directory for sports law.
