We’re proud to always share news of our staff making an impact outside of work. Geoff Karikari, Senior Associate and Head of Co-Commercial at RFB, has recently completed his first year as a Non-Executive Director at the England Touch Association – the national governing body for Touch Rugby in England. 

Geoff’s appointment reflects the depth of his expertise in corporate governance, service agreements, and business planning, which are central to both his legal practice and his contribution to England Touch. The organisation operates as a private company limited by guarantee without share capital – a structure Geoff regularly advises clients on. As a volunteer director, he plays a vital role in ensuring the effective day-to-day and strategic management of the non-profit. 

Geoff’s role with Touch Rugby combines two of his great passions – sport and governance – and highlights just how useful having a legal and commercial insight can be when applied to grassroots and elite sport. 

In May 2024, when Geoff Karikari was appointed as a Non-Executive Director, England Touch Chair Tim Loveridge commented, “Geoff’s enthusiasm and experience will really add to our capabilities as a Board and will enhance our focus on commercial partnerships and sponsorship as we look to deliver our strategy and build on the success of Touch in England after the World Cup in July.”  

As a volunteer director with two decades of legal leadership, Geoff brings a strategic perspective on talent development, diversity and inclusive growth. His commercial insight and professional network are already proving essential as England Touch expands its partnership portfolio and ramps up preparations for future growth goals. 

England hosted the 2024 Rugby Touch World Cup, with Team England returning with a haul of 10 medals from 13 categories and recording its best-ever results in junior European competition. Geoff and the Board’s next goals are to raise capital to grow the sport, and ultimately, secure a place in the Brisbane 2032 Olympics.  

Geoff’s insight into commercial partnerships and structures, as well as using skills in governance will be invaluable in helping the Association navigate and continue the success of the organisation, which has now delivered the largest ever Touch World Cup with 187 teams from 39 nations. His legal expertise is helping England Touch build on this momentum with robust structures as it targets inclusion in the Brisbane 2032 Olympic Games. 

Geoff’s experience in helping guide the governance of a national sports body mirrors the kind of legal advice he provides to clients every day – from strategic planning to regulatory compliance. His passion for both the law and sport makes him a valuable asset to both teams.
