Sports Practice Group

Our attorneys have experience successfully guiding individuals, businesses, schools, non-profit organizations, and other groups involved in sports through the increasingly complex legal and practical issues they encounter.

The group operates as a multidisciplinary practice to provide representation that fits the varied needs of our clients, including:

• Purchases and sales of professional teams and ownership interests;
• Contracts between sporting venues and event vendors;
• Intellectual property and licensing;
• Appeals to bodies governing student athletes, including the NCAA and high school interscholastic associations;
• School policies governing student athletes’ name, image, and likeness rights, as well as related issues;
• Name, image, and likeness agreements between student athletes and sponsor companies; and
• Estate planning and counseling for high net worth individuals with backgrounds in professional sports, including athletes, members of ownership groups, and team executives
