Sports, Entertainment, and Intellectual Property Attorneys with a Proven Track Record
Our attorneys specialize in sports law, intellectual property, and entertainment law, serving professional athletes, sports agencies, brands, and entertainment professionals. We know how to design and implement comprehensive legal strategies that protect our clients’ interests while advancing their careers and business objectives.
Most of our clients stay with us for the long term because they can see and appreciate the personalized approach we take to solving their unique challenges. When complex issues arise, we handle each case with professionalism and care, keeping clients informed every step of the way. The results speak for themselves – we often find that a request begins with completing a single task and grows into an ongoing outside general counsel relationship.
You will be hard pressed to find an attorney with more comprehensive experience in sports law. Our founder authored the definitive Sports Law Treatise for the American Bar Association, “How to Play the Game: What Every Sports Attorney Needs to Know,” and serves as an adjunct professor at the University of Miami School of Law. In 2023, Sports Business Journal recognized Heitner Legal as the only law firm “Power Player” in NIL, and our founder was named to the Top 25 Most Influential Figures in NIL.

From our initial consultation through resolution, Heitner Legal, P.L.L.C. demonstrated deep expertise and a genuine commitment to my needs. Communication was prompt and respectful—I always felt informed about progress and next steps. They worked diligently to pursue a favorable outcome and handled every detail with professionalism.
