ABOUT US
We enhance, protect, and monetize our clients' personal brands through business!
Since our inception, the Brand Investment Law Firm has been completely focused on providing legal services for athletes’ off-the-field business transactions with the keen ability to structure such transactions to enhance and protect their personal brands for a smooth transition to life after sports.
By working with our clients’ agents, financial advisors, and other advisors, our team helps to develop a business growth strategy to leverage our clients' brands to help secure our clients' post playing career as business moguls. At the Brand Investment Law Firm, we believe that every transaction an athlete enters into should be a Brand Investment℠, one that not only monetizes their brand, but also is consistent with their brand and provides an opportunity for off-the-field business growth.
