Sports Law Attorney

Serving New Jersey & Beyond

From high school athletes to collegiate standouts, legal issues in sports can arise both on and off the field. Our firm represents clients navigating the unique challenges of athletic contracts, NIL agreements, team disputes, compliance concerns, and more.


Whether you're an athlete, coach, school, or league, we offer practical legal guidance that protects your rights and aligns with your goals.

Helping Athletes Focus on Their Game — We’ll Handle the Legal Side

Athletes face increasing legal complexity — especially when money, endorsements, eligibility, or injury are involved. We help clients make smart decisions, minimize risk, and avoid costly mistakes. If you're unsure whether you even need a lawyer, a consultation can help you understand your options.

NIL (Name, Image & Likeness) Representation


The new world of NIL has opened the door for student-athletes to monetize their talent — but it also brings risks. We assist athletes and families in reviewing or negotiating endorsement deals, ensuring the terms are clear, compliant, and in the athlete’s long-term best interest.

Contract Review & Negotiation


We review, draft, and negotiate contracts for athletes, coaches, trainers, and teams — including player contracts, appearance agreements, coaching deals, sponsorships, and training waivers. If you're being asked to sign something, we’ll make sure you understand exactly what it means.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Do I need a lawyer to review my NIL deal?

    Yes — NIL contracts can include confusing or one-sided terms that impact your future earnings, eligibility, or reputation. A sports law attorney can help you understand what you're signing and negotiate terms in your best interest.

  • Can a high school or college athlete sign endorsement deals in New Jersey?

    Yes, New Jersey allows student-athletes to benefit from their name, image, and likeness (NIL), but there are rules depending on your school, league, or NCAA status. We can help ensure compliance with applicable regulations.

  • What if I’m suspended or ruled ineligible to play?

    You may have the right to appeal the decision, especially if it was made without due process or violates your contractual or legal rights. We represent athletes in eligibility disputes with schools, leagues, and athletic associations.

  • Can I sue if I was injured while playing sports?

    It depends. Many sports carry inherent risks, but if your injury was caused by negligence — like unsafe conditions or improper supervision — there may be a valid claim. We’ll evaluate the facts and explain your legal options.

  • What’s the difference between a sports lawyer and a regular attorney?

    Sports law blends contract law, personal injury, intellectual property, and regulatory compliance — all within the context of athletics. A sports attorney understands the unique pressures athletes and teams face, and tailors legal advice accordingly.

  • Can you help if I already signed a bad deal?

    Possibly. We can review the agreement and determine whether there’s room to renegotiate, terminate, or dispute the terms. Timing and documentation matter, so don’t wait to seek legal advice.
