West Ham

The owners of London's Olympic stadium have reached an out-of-court settlement with a leading legal firm over West Ham United's controversial deal to play ...

The club originally launched legal action against the LLDC and the parties settled out of court, allowing West Ham some of their cost-free extra capacity. A statement issued by both the LLDC and Allen & Overy said: "E20 Stadium LLP, London Legacy Development Corporation and Allen & Overy LLP have reached a resolution of the litigation between the parties concerning the March 2013 WHU Concession Agreement. The terms of the settlement are confidential." The claim was over the work the firm did on the LLDC's behalf on the concession agreement which gave the Premier League club a 99-year lease of the ground, now called the London Stadium.
