PLI Press is proud to announce the publication of the new treatise Sports Law: A Practical Guide to Protecting the Interests of Athletes.
The book provides lawyers, player agents, marketing agents, financial advisors, and other members of athletes’ management and advisory teams with the tools and understanding they need to protect their clients’ interests before, during, and after the athletes’ professional playing careers. It offers a first-hand, behind-the-scenes glimpse into the unique complexities athletes face in their careers and daily lives. Packed with practice tips, sample documents and agreements, and unique insights, Sports Law is an essential resource for anyone who counsels or represents athletes, as well as for athletes themselves.
Notably, the book offers guidance on:
- Athlete representative and advisor selection, management, and agreements (see Chapters 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7)
- Financial and estate planning for athletes (see Chapter 8)
- Name, image, and likeness (NIL) and other intellectual property considerations (see Chapters 10 and 11)
- Athlete-nonprofit partnerships, business deals, and public appearances (see Chapters 9 and 12)
- Athlete privacy (see Chapter 14)
- E-sports (see Chapter 15)
The treatise also contains sample marketing and endorsement agreements and discusses topics such as race and sports, athlete decision-making, and athlete identity foreclosure (see the Table of Contents).
