Protecting Your Work in Sports and Entertainment

In the fast-paced world of Sports and Entertainment, your talent is your biggest asset, and Davis Roberts is here to help ensure it is protected. Whether you are an athlete gearing up for a big contract, a college athlete navigating the ever-changing world of Name, Image and Likeness (NIL), a musician releasing your latest hit, or an actor making your mark on the big screen, our team has your back. From locking down ironclad contracts to defending your intellectual property rights and everything in between, we are here to help ensure that your work stays yours. At Davis Roberts, we will work to handle all of the legal heavy lifting to allow you to focus on your talents.

What Could Happen Without Skilled Representation?

Unfair Contracts: Without a lawyer to review and negotiate your contracts, you could end up stuck with unfair terms. For instance, you might sign a deal that takes a huge percentage of your earnings or gives away control over your creative work.

Example: A musician could unknowingly sign away the rights to their music, missing out on royalties and future income. 

Loss of Intellectual Property: For entertainers, your intellectual property—whether it is music, art, or content is your living. Without proper protection, others could profit from your work without your consent, and you may lose the right to claim ownership.

Example: An artist might find their work being used in a marketing campaign without receiving any compensation or recognition, simply because they did not have the right legal safeguards in place.

Disputes Over Compensation: Whether you are an athlete or entertainer, you could find yourself in disputes over how much you are owed. Without legal backing, you might struggle to claim the compensation you deserve or resolve conflicts with employers, sponsors, or companies.

Example: A performer might deal with disputes over royalties from a streaming platform. Without a lawyer, these issues could drag on and cost you time and money.
