PROFESSIONAL SERVICES
- Contract Negotiation:
The world of professional basketball is controlled by the player contract. In the modern age, most leagues have instituted a salary cap, which limits the amount a player can make during his first contract or even throughout his career. The contract consists of base salary, signing bonus, appearance bonus, and incentive bonus. Through aggressive negotiation and by exploring all contract options we will build the most complete contract package for our clients, while maintaining their image and integrity.
- Arbitration and Litigation:
In the event that a team treats a client unfairly, or they act in such a way as to violate the terms of a client's contract or the Collective Bargaining Agreement we, will offer full Arbitration and Litigation services.
- Career Management:
In order to make the transition to the pros easier we will offer Career Management and Player services. These sessions will be invaluable in helping clients focus on their career goals and establish a career plan, which will help them to achieve those goals as well as maximize their earning potential

5. Post-Career and Education Planning:
The reality of professional sports is that athletes have a limited career and must effectively plan for their future after basketball. We will work with our clients to determine their post-career goals and to develop a plan on how to best achieve them. For some clients this involves taking courses in the off-season (which can sometimes be paid for by their team), for others it is merely a matter of finding out what the requirements are for their chosen future career.
