Oregon Athlete Agent and Attorney — Protecting YOUR Interests
According to Sports Illustrated, almost 80 percent of NFL players are on the verge of bankruptcy within two years after retiring. Why? Poor financial planning, bad investment advice and most importantly — because they didn't look for the right qualities when hiring a sports management agent.
Signing with the NFL or any other professional league is a huge step forward in your professional football career. When dealing with a sports contract involving hundreds of thousands and potentially even millions of dollars, the advice you receive from your agent can make a significant difference in your future. Eugene sports law attorney Travis L. Sydow is an agent licensed with the NFL and the state of Oregon, and he is an experienced lawyer holding both a law degree as well as a Master's of Business Administration degree (MBA). He deals with complex contracts and business decisions on a routine basis.
His dual representation as both attorney and sports agent provides clients with an exceptionally competitive advantage, whether negotiating a new player agreement with an NFL franchise or providing sound financial and legal advice in other matters confronted by clients throughout their professional career:
- Negotiating compensation and individual player contracts
- Reviewing and negotiating endorsement contracts
- Resolving legal disputes that arise in your career
- Investment advice and financial planning
- State and federal tax advice and planning
It's Your Career and Your Finances — We Protect It Like It Were Our Own
The collective bargaining agreement is the basis for all individual player contracts and is one of the most complex documents that you will be presented with in your professional football career. While the majority of this contract is set in stone as negotiated by the Players' Union, it is important for your agent to have comprehensive understanding of all aspects of the agreement before negotiating compensation on your behalf.
