Eversheds, Gateley and Trowers & Hamlins have all advised on the deal announced today (22 March) which has seen West Ham United Football Club confirmed as main tenants of London’s Olympic Stadium.

The deal comes after the Government agreed to provide an extra £25m towards the costs of converting the venue, following a period of uncertainty over the financing of the stadium’s conversion to a Premier League football ground. West Ham was named as preferred bidder by the London Legacy Development Corporation (LLDC) several months ago.
