A professional soccer organization without a seated general counsel, a stack of governance, vendor, and player-adjacent agreements in the queue, and a league calendar that does not slow down. We took the interim chair and did not miss a deadline.
The organization's general counsel departed on short notice in the middle of a competitive season. The review queue did not pause.
Sponsorship amendments, facility use agreements, ticketing vendor renewals, governance matters, and internal-policy updates all needed legal review. The league's calendar kept generating deadlines, many of them league-imposed and non-negotiable. Outside counsel engagements from three different firms were open and uncoordinated.
We stepped in as Interim General Counsel on a flat monthly engagement, with a defined scope and a clean handoff plan to the eventual permanent hire. We inherited the review queue, triaged by risk and deadline, and established a weekly cadence with the executive team. We coordinated the three open outside-counsel engagements into a single reporting structure, cut duplicative review, and closed two dormant matters.
We updated internal contract-approval thresholds, drafted a refreshed vendor agreement template, and built a simple league-deadline tracker tied to the organization's calendar. When the permanent GC was seated, we delivered a one-binder handoff covering every open matter, every outside-counsel relationship, and every template we had touched.
"We needed someone who could sit in the seat on Monday morning. Brandon was in the seat by Monday morning."
