The LEGAL SIDE of Sports
Chances are, you don’t need marketing and promotion, career planning and networking. What you need is help understanding the terms of your contract to protect you and your family’s interests, and you’d prefer that help to come without taking a percentage of your salary. You need discreet and confidential legal advice. That is why you need a lawyer, not an agent.

DEFENDER
Most coaches simply need their contract reviewed and an opportunity to speak with a lawyer who can answer their questions and ensure their interests are protected. For these coaches we offer the Defender option.
ADVOCATE
Some coaches need a full consultation, their contract reviewed, and a lawyer to make proposed revisions to the contract for the coach to take back to the organization to ensure their interests are protected. For these coaches we offer the Advocate option.
TEAMMATE
A few coaches need to hire an advocate to engage in contract review, revisions, and participate in negotiations through the contract process. For these coaches we offer the Teammate option which includes retaining our services on an hourly basis.
