Willkie Farr & Gallagher LLP (Willkie) has been named the Official Legal Services Provider of Laver Cup 2026, to be held at The O2 in London from September 25-27.

With 16 offices internationally, Willkie is one of the world’s leading law firms, renowned for providing innovative, pragmatic, and sophisticated legal services across more than 45 practice areas. The partnership with Laver Cup is built on a strong alignment of shared values, prioritizing excellence and strategic precision on a global stage.

“We’re excited to welcome Willkie, a leader in providing innovative legal solutions, to our distinguished lineup of event sponsors for 2026,” said Laver Cup CEO Steve Zacks.

“The Laver Cup’s international prestige and commitment to excellence makes this partnership a perfect fit for Willkie,” said Jeffrey R. Poss, Willkie Executive Committee member and incoming joint Chairman of the firm.

Bringing together six of the best men’s tennis players from Europe to compete against six of their counterparts from the rest of the World, the Laver Cup is named in honor of Australian tennis legend Rod Laver. The high-stakes competition is played on a dramatic black court over three days and rotates host cities between Europe and the rest of the World each year.

The 2026 edition marks the Laver Cup’s return to London and The O2, the venue for one of the most iconic moments in tennis history, when Roger Federer played the final competitive match of his career alongside his great rival Rafael Nadal and fellow “Big Four” members Novak Djokovic and Andy Murray in 2022. With Team World having secured three of the last four Laver Cup titles, the stage is set for an intense showdown in London as Team Europe fights to return to the winner’s circle.

Team Europe will be led by Captain Yannick Noah, with World No. 2 Carlos Alcaraz, World No. 3 Alexander Zverev, World No. 10 Flavio Cobolli and World No. 17 Jakub Mensik already confirmed. Captain Andre Agassi will lead Team World, with World No. 5 Ben Shelton, World No. 6 Alex de Minaur, World No. 7 Taylor Fritz and World No. 11 Alexander Bublik also set to compete.

Tickets, hospitality packages and premium experiences are available now via AXS, the official ticketing partner of The O2.
