Home/Practice Areas

Every clause. Every chapter.

A comprehensive practice built around the realities of modern athlete representation — from a first $500 social-media post to a multi-year, multi-platform brand portfolio.

More than contract review.

An NIL deal is not a one-off transaction. It sits inside a larger framework of intellectual property, business structure, eligibility compliance, and long-term brand strategy. Treating any of those in isolation is how athletes accidentally sign away their leverage.

Our practice is built to address all of it under one roof. We handle the contract on the desk today, the trademark filing that should have happened last year, and the loan-out structure that will save you on taxes for the next decade — coordinated so nothing competes with anything else.
