What does a Sports Attorney do?
Andrew Rhoden • March 15, 2022
The sports attorney is one of the most specialized lawyers in the country. Sports attorneys help in every aspect of a professional athlete’s career, from initial entry into the sport, to contract negotiation, to litigation, to marketing. The job itself is incredibly complex. The sports lawyer is responsible for the entire organization of an athlete’s life, from training and nutrition to business development, social media and sponsorship opportunities. From day one, an athlete is a commodity with multiple stakeholders who have varying interests and agendas with their brand. The lawyer must not only be knowledgeable about what makes a well-run organization tick but also be able to navigate different stakeholders as well as navigate within that ecosystem and make informed decisions on behalf of his clients.
Hence, when you hire a sports attorney you are hiring someone who has spent his entire career studying the best practices for teams and athletes – an attorney who has proven himself capable in this field by successfully representing teams and athletes at every level across all major sports leagues and professional teams including: NFL (American Football), MLB (Baseball), NBA (NBA), NHL (NHL), MLS (Major League Soccer), UFC (MMA).
