In sports, the little things are often the difference between winning and losing.

At Brick Gentry, we have extensive experience in providing legal services for professional athletes, college athletes, and universities. From contract review to drafting agreements, including those covering Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL) rights, our goal is to ensure that our clients are protected.

The rise of NIL has transformed college athletics, but it has also created chaos. Athletes leave programs with claims of unfulfilled promises, and fans are often left angry and confused. The common thread? A lack of clear, enforceable written agreements. A handshake deal might work on the golf course, but in the highly visable world of sports, it is a recipe for disaster.

This is where we come in.

We have also seen firsthand that professional athletes often rely solely on their agents to handle contracts. While many agents are incredible dealmakers, their expertise surprisingly does not always extend to safeguarding the athlete’s long-term interests, intellectual property, or legal rights. That is where legal representation becomes a game-changer.

Athletes deserve more than just a great deal. They deserve a contract that works for them.

As we expand our practice, we will continue to tackle pressing sports and entertainment issues, sharing insights on topics like NIL, intellectual property rights, and contract disputes. Of course, we will also keep writing about core areas of practice like franchise and general business matters—because winning in business requires the same level of preparation as winning in sports.

Protect your future.

Because champions pay attention to the details—and we have found that details make a huge difference when it comes to sports and entertainment contracts.
