Spencer Fane LLP recently announced the formal launch of a Sports Law team, led by attorneys Peter Goplerud, Loren Mulraine, and James Crumlin.
Comprising lawyers who have experience in corporate law, entertainment, higher education, intellectual property, and labor and employment, the group already has significant experiences in key aspects of name, image, and likeness (NIL) practice. The team handles legal and regulatory issues involving professional sports teams and executives, collegiate athletic programs, athletes, coaches and athletic directors, and NIL collectives.
Spencer Fane attorneys have assisted with projects ranging from contract drafting and formation to counseling on compliance with NIL laws and school policies. We have also assisted with various aspects of National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) compliance and eligibility questions.
“The rapid growth and overall complexity of NIL work, especially in relation to athletic organizations, has led to a rising demand for legal and regulatory assistance.” said Goplerud. “We look forward to meeting the growing Sports Law needs for our national clientele.”
