Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer has successfully overturned a multi-million pound fine and a two-year ban levelled by the Union of European Football Associations (UEFA) against English club Manchester City.

The club turned to Freshfields to fight its case at the Court of Arbitration for Sport in Switzerland, after it was fined €30 million and barred from Europe's Champions League football tournament by UEFA in February. 

At the time, UEFA stated that it had found the Premier League club guilty of "overstating its sponsorship revenue in its accounts and in the break-even information submitted to UEFA between 2012 and 2016."
