Chester FC have announced a major new signing off the pitch with the law firm Aaron & Partners named as the club’s first-ever official legal partner.
The legal firm, which has an office in Wirral, has agreed a commercial partnership for the 2026/27 season, which includes becoming the official training kit sponsor for Chester FC Women’s team. The new partnership extends beyond the pitch with Aaron & Partners set to deliver in-house talks to players and staff, offering expert advice across a range of legal areas, including wills trusts and tax, family law and employment law.
Albert Davies, General Manager of Chester FC, said:
“We’re delighted to welcome Aaron & Partners as Chester FC’s first-ever official legal partner, and I’d like to thank everyone at the firm for the support they have shown our club.
Their backing goes beyond simply putting their name alongside Chester FC. They have shown a genuine commitment to the club and – as part of the agreement – to supporting the continued development of our Women’s team. That alignment with what we are trying to achieve as a club is hugely important to us.
I’m particularly excited about where this partnership can go over the coming years. We see this as much more than a sponsorship agreement – it is an opportunity to build a genuine working relationship as Chester FC continues to grow and develop.
We’re grateful for the belief Aaron & Partners have in what we’re trying to do, and we look forward to working closely with them and seeing the partnership grow both on and off the pitch.”
As part of the deal, the legal firm will also secure matchday visibility, including a full-page advert in all Men’s home match programmes and other matchday activation opportunities. In addition to its Chester headquarters, Aaron and Partners also has offices across Greater Manchester, Merseyside, and Shropshire, employing more than 200 people.
Nick Clarke, CEO at Aaron and Partners, said:
“Chester FC is at the heart of the city and the club works incredibly hard to make a positive difference to the local community. This partnership is a fantastic opportunity for us to work closely with the club to help it achieve its ambitions.
I’m also really delighted that some of our support is going directly to benefit Chester FC’s women’s team, which offers a great player pathway for women in Chester with a development squad, under-18s team, and an Emerging Talent Centre and it’s exciting to be involved in the continuing development of the club’s women’s team.”
