Texas Sports Law Lawyers
Sports Law and Sports Agent in Texas
There is no denying the fact that Texans love their sports. While we are perhaps most famous for our unwavering dedication to football, our great state has developed, as well as imported, a great variety of sports and athletic talent from around the country and the world. It is wonderful to watch an entire community rally around its high school and college teams and provide that crucial support to developing athletes. However, if you are a sports athlete who has decided to pursue professional aspirations, you know that passion is no longer the only driving force. You now must contend with the complicated business of sports law. You need a licensed sports agent and attorney by your side every step of the way to make sure that your talent is being maximized and your finances and legal rights are protected.
Sports law attorneys who practice in the area of sports law certainly must be well-versed in the areas that are of specific interest to a professional sports athlete, such as player contracts, problems with agents or players' associations, and guidelines regarding draft and trade negotiations. However, we know that your obligations and opportunities as an athlete extend beyond the sports field, track, or course. A sports lawyer or sports agent who is going to represent an athlete must also have a strong background in the more general fields of antitrust, labor, intellectual property, federal disability and discrimination laws, and business formation. If you partner with a sports lawyer or agent who cannot offer expertise on all of these issues, you may be endangering your maximum career potential. In fact, the Managing Partner of our law firm, Tony R. Bertolino, is a Texas licensed sports agent possessing a Texas Certificate of Registration as An Athlete Agent (Agent Number 20090012) from the Secretary of State of the State of Texas. We hope that you will give Mr. Bertolino or any one of our other sports law attorneys the opportunity to guide your career to even greater success.
