High-stakes careers deserve serious legal protection.

Careers in sports and entertainment can turn on a single decision: a contract clause you didn’t catch or an injury that changes everything. When your livelihood, reputation, and future are on the line, there’s little room for mistakes.

At Potts Law Firm, our sports and entertainment lawyers represent athletes, entertainers, coaches, agents, and executives at every stage of their careers. We step in to protect what you’ve built and help you move forward with a clear plan in place.

Why Athletes and Entertainment Professionals Need a Sports Lawyer

A single legal misstep can have lasting consequences. Hiring a sports lawyer early helps protect your income, opportunities, and professional standing.

Contracts Can Shape a Career

Contracts often include clauses that affect future options and earning power. A sports contract lawyer helps you understand what you’re signing before it limits you later.

Injuries Can Threaten Income and Opportunity

Serious injuries can disrupt careers and contracts. A trusted attorney evaluates whether negligence or unsafe conditions played a role.

Negotiate Against Bigger Forces

Teams and organizations usually have legal teams on their side. A lawyer helps level negotiations and protect your interests.

Your Reputation Is Part of the Deal

Public disputes can follow you long after they’re resolved. A sports and entertainment lawyer works to protect both your case and your professional standing.

    FAQs About Entertainment & Sports Contract Law

    When should I contact a sports contract lawyer?

    You should contact a sports contract lawyer before signing, renegotiating, or ending any agreement. Early review can help identify restrictive clauses, financial risks, or obligations that could limit your career or future opportunities.

    Can a sports injury attorney help if I was hurt during training or competition?

    Yes. While some injuries are considered part of the sport, others involve unsafe conditions, negligent supervision, or defective equipment. A sports injury attorney can evaluate whether another party may be responsible.

    Do you represent amateur, collegiate, and professional athletes?

    Yes. Our sports attorneys represent athletes at all levels, including youth, collegiate, and professional competitors, as well as coaches, agents, and sports industry professionals.

    Do sports and entertainment cases always go to court?

    No. Many sports and entertainment matters are resolved through negotiation or private resolution. Court action is pursued only when it is necessary to protect a client’s career, income, or contractual rights.
