Quastels is delighted to have advised Wealdstone Football Club on the landmark investment into the club by US‑based investor Lakefront Football Partners LLC owned by Nick Semaca. Lakefront Football Partners LLC has now formally become the club’s new majority shareholder.
The transaction represents a pivotal moment for the National League side, securing long‑term stability and growth opportunities while preserving the club’s historic commitment to fan ownership and was completed alongside the club’s new lease at Grosvenor Vale expiring 31 May 2036.
The Wealdstone investment adds to our already well‑established sports practice which continues to advise clubs, investors and other stakeholders on complex corporate, real estate and governance matters.
The Quastels team was led by corporate partner Adam Convisser, real estate partner Mark Cornelius and sports/regulatory partner Simon Grossobel. The partners were supported by Jamie Crocker (solicitor), Joshua Buxton (trainee solicitor) and Max Sherrard (sports/regulatory).
Director and Vice Chairman, Dominic Whyley, said:
“It was a pleasure working with Quastels and their team on this exciting transaction for the club. The team provided great counsel, guidance and support throughout our long journey to identify the right investor for this great club and help us deliver an executable transaction whilst navigating the complexities of our existing constitution and shareholder base.”
Adam Convisser commented:
“We were delighted to support Wealdstone FC on this transformative investment.
