NIL, endorsements, trademarks, and the entity work behind a playing career.
A viral cut, a suspended campaign, and a withheld guaranteed payment. We held the guarantee and reset the clause.
Read The Case Study →A printed launch, a retail partner waiting, and a legacy brand demanding a rebrand. He never changed the name.
Read The Case Study →A Power Conference wide receiver with two junior-college seasons on his NCAA ledger, a season-ending knee injury in fall camp that should have qualified as a medical hardship the year it happened, and a single shot at one more season after the league's one-year blanket waiver expires. We mapped the three levers and built the plan to run them in parallel.
Read The Case Study →A high-major Division I basketball player with four seasons logged across three programs, every one of them played under continuous physician-imposed restriction, and a fifth-year waiver appeal that the prior institution filed twice without ever invoking the rule that fit the facts. We rebuilt the waiver from the bylaw down and filed it inside the appeal window.
Read The Case Study →A professional athlete with a growing platform, a charitable impulse that had outrun his paperwork, and an IRS classification he did not yet qualify for. We built the foundation, filed for exemption, and set up the first three grants.
Read The Case Study →A retired professional athlete launching a media and content company, a personal mark that had carried his brand through a fifteen-year career, and a co-founder he had known for six months.

Read The Case Study →An international amateur athlete accepted a Division 1 offer on an F-1 visa, a six-figure NIL package lined up from a US collective, and a home-country federation that had never encountered the intersection. We made the structure work on both sides of the border.
Read The Case Study →A collegiate athlete with a signed revenue-share contract, a nonrenewal of athletic aid mid-season, and a school now demanding the return of payments already made. We defended the payments, documented the defense, and closed the door on the clawback.
Read The Case Study →A rising college football starter, a school revenue-share license at $400,000, a marketing representation agreement with a $168,000 upfront advance, and a collective content deal assigning his name, image, and likeness to a third-party platform. We read all three against each other and rewrote the ones that could not stand alone.
Read The Case Study →An NFL veteran traded in the offseason, a wife with a growing business and a Texas residence, and an estate plan that predated both kids. We rebuilt the family's legal structure before training camp opened.
Read The Case Study →A private-equity executive with a freshman son on a Power Four roster, a $1.6M NIL package negotiated by a family friend, and no entity between his son and the income. We built the structure his son will still be using in ten years.
