Athlete Representation
Andresen & Associates believes that undertaking the representation of an athlete entails more than creating a traditional attorney-client relationship. An athlete agent is a lawyer, fiduciary, confidant, friend and counselor to his charge. As such, Andresen & Associates only undertakes the representation of athletes under limited circumstances so as to ensure that the client is getting everything out of the representation that he or she is entitled to and deserves. To that end, some of the services that Andresen & Associates offers to its athlete clients include:
- Educating the client in the business of professional sports;
- Advising, counseling and assisting the client in the negotiation and execution of his or her playing contract;
- Protecting the client’s contractual rights and other rights under the applicable sport’s collective bargaining or other agreement with its players;
- Creating and/or finding opportunities for endorsements, public appearances and other community relations experiences for the client; and
- Counseling the client on proper conduct with regard to teammates, team officials, the media and others that the client will come in contact with.
