NAME, IMAGE, AND LIKENESS

Name, Image, and Likeness a/k/a NIL is one of the most commonly used phrases in the business of sports. NIL involves the use of names, nicknames, likenesses, portraits, performances, biographical data, distinctive marks, distinctive voices, and phrases for commercial gain and compensation.  Most NIL agreements are akin to sponsorship agreements and influencer agreements.  The Firm has a long history of working with:

    • Athletes
    • Entertainers
    • Collectives
    • Sponsors
    • Teams
    • Leagues
    • Conferences
    • Colleges and Universities 

The Firm was drafting, negotiating, and litigating sponsorship agreements well before the NCAA permitted “NIL deals”.  NIL added the extra wrinkle of state and university legislation as well as NCAA policies.  The Firm has helped develop NIL strategies and training courses and reviewed and drafted numerous agreements involving NIL and revenue sharing.
