Geldards advises on Pearson's Hull transfer
East Midlands law firm Geldards advised Adam Pearson on his appointment as the new chairman of Hull City Football Club. Pearson joins the Premiership club from Championship club Derby County. Pearson was chairman of football at Derby County and a shareholder in its parent company. This will be his second spell in charge at Hull City. He was chairman of the club between 2001 and 2007, during which time the club went from near bankruptcy in the second division to the Championship. Andrew Borkowski, partner who advised on the deal, said: "This is a hugely popular move with fans, players and staff at Hull City who now have a great deal more optimism with Adam at the helm."
