Athlete Representation & NIL

The rise of Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL) opportunities has transformed college athletics, but with rapid change comes complex legal risk. At Isaboke Law Firm, we provide strategic legal counsel for athletes, agents, and brands navigating this new frontier in sports, ensuring that deals are legally sound, reputationally safe, and financially beneficial.

We don’t just draft contracts, we protect legacies.

What Is NIL and Why Does Legal Counsel Matter?

NIL refers to an athlete’s right to monetize their name, image, and likeness through:

  • Social media sponsorships

  • Product endorsements

  • Personal appearances

  • Licensing deals

  • Merchandising and brand partnerships

  • Autograph signings and digital content

For high school, college, and even early-career professional athletes, the legal structure of these deals matters as much as the money. Without the right representation, athletes risk signing away rights, underpricing their value, or violating NCAA or state-specific NIL regulations.

Legal Services We Offer

  • NIL Contract Review & Drafting: Ensure you understand and retain control over your image and deliverables.

  • Negotiation Support: We advocate for fair terms, equity shares, and enforceable protections.

  • State & NCAA Compliance: Stay compliant with evolving NIL laws and school-specific guidelines.

  • IP Protection: Secure your personal brand assets with trademark filings and licensing strategies.

  • Brand Collaboration Structuring: From social campaigns to limited-edition products, we ensure everything is legally tight.
