The Safest Call in Sports

A veteran player was traded midseason. His endorsement income, appearance deals, and a rental property were all tied to his personal name in a state he no longer played in.

Formed a new-state LLC, coordinated EIN and banking, and worked with his CPA and financial advisor to route every non-salary income stream through the entity.

LLC formed and accounts retitled in 3 days, before his first practice with the new club.

A veteran producer was handed a development deal that locked up his catalog and his next three projects on terms buried in the definitions section.

Reviewed the agreement, flagged the catalog grab, and told him plainly: this is a bad deal and we will not let you make it. Then we negotiated the terms that mattered.

Catalog retained. The deal closed on corrected terms with his rights intact.

An MLS club lost its general counsel with contracts in flight: player agreements, sponsorships, and venue matters with no one to review them.

Stepped in as interim counsel. Cleared the review queue, kept player and commercial deals moving, and maintained league compliance through the transition.

Zero missed deadlines. A clean handoff binder delivered to the club’s incoming general counsel.

A national-team volleyball recruit transferred schools to escape a toxic program. CIF flagged a brief prior coaching contact and ruled her ineligible for a full year, mid-recruitment.

Built a citation-rich appeal brief, organized documentation from both schools, coordinated witnesses, and argued the case before the CIF appeal panel.

Full eligibility granted. She led her new school to a CIF Section Championship that same season.

A growing club was running every coach on a handshake. No coach agreements, outdated waivers, and an entity structure that put the founders’ homes at risk.

Restructured the entity, put every coach on a compliant written agreement, and rebuilt the waiver stack to hold up under California law.

Personal exposure closed. The club passed its next insurance audit without a single exception.

A financial advisor discovered his client’s endorsement income was flowing into a personal account with no entity behind it. He needed a lawyer who would fix it without competing for the relationship.

Joined a three-way call within 24 hours, corrected the structure, and coordinated with the advisor and CPA at every step. The advisor stayed the client’s first call.

Entity formed, income rerouted, and a referral relationship that has since sent four more clients.
