NIL and Sports Representation Legal Services for Student Athletes and Their Families

Protecting Student Athletes Before They Sign

​

The world of Name, Image and Likeness (NIL) opportunities has created exciting possibilities for student athletes, but it has also introduced complex legal and business decisions that many athletes and their families have never faced before. At Spiller Law, we help student athletes, parents and families understand, evaluate and negotiate NIL agreements, agent agreements, sponsorship opportunities and related business arrangements.

​

Attorney Lindsay Spiller brings a unique perspective to sports representation matters. Before becoming an attorney, Lindsay worked as a sports agent representing professional and Olympic athletes. Today, he combines that experience with decades of legal practice advising businesses, entrepreneurs, investors and entertainment professionals on contracts, negotiations and strategic business decisions.

​

NIL Contract Review and Negotiation

​

Many NIL agreements contain provisions that can significantly affect an athlete's future opportunities, compensation and rights. Before signing an NIL contract, athletes and families should fully understand the financial terms, exclusivity provisions, intellectual property rights, termination clauses and long-term obligations involved.

​

Spiller Law assists with:

• NIL contract review

• NIL agreement negotiation

• Brand endorsement agreements

• Sponsorship and promotional agreements

• Social media influencer agreements

• Licensing agreements

• Intellectual property protection

• Business entity formation for athletes

​

Our goal is to help athletes make informed decisions while protecting both current opportunities and future earning potential.

​

Agent Agreement Review

​

Student athletes are increasingly approached by agents, advisors, marketing representatives and agencies seeking long-term relationships. While many professionals provide valuable services, not all agreements are structured in the athlete's best interests.

​

Spiller Law helps athletes and families evaluate:

• Agent agreements

• Marketing representation agreements

• Financial advisor agreements

• Management agreements

• Recruiting and advisory contracts

• Commission structures

• Term and termination provisions

• Exclusivity obligations

​

Understanding these agreements before signing can help avoid disputes and unintended restrictions later.
