Doncaster Rovers FC has signed Atteys Solicitors as advisers on company and commercial law.

One of South Yorkshire's largest independent legal firms, Atteys has been appointed by the Championship club as part of a review of its sponsorship and other contracts. Commercial executive Andrew Whitham:

"As an ambitious, growing club we want to take a completely new approach to our commercial structure and build an infrastructure that is right for us in 2012 and the years ahead. Among other things, we're looking at a new framework for our sponsorship documents and at how we can build strong partnership agreements with other businesses.

"Atteys is a well liked business with a head office in Doncaster. It understands the town and our club and has a wealth of experience dealing with organisations from multi-nationals to charities across the UK. We are very impressed with their intuitive grasp of the issues that a club like ours deals with on a day to day basis and confident their knowledge will help us achieve our commercial objectives."

Charles Glover, chief executive, Atteys: "As two long-established Doncaster businesses, it's fantastic to have this alliance in place. It's great that Rovers recognises the legal skills here on its doorstep and is happy to do business with the right partners to keep business within South Yorkshire."

Phil Crawley, commercial law solicitor, Atteys: "We're all about developing long term relationships with clients and giving clear, practical and professional advice. We are obviously delighted to be working with Doncaster Rovers on a professional basis and intend to add significant value to their commercial operation."
