New Jersey is known nationwide for its commitment to the arts, sports and entertainment. Not only is the state rife with top-tier professional athletic programs, but there is also a wealth of musicians, actors and artists who call New Jersey home. However, with success comes a great need for sound legal advice from a trusted counselor.

Many of these athletes and entertainers are newly-minted millionaires and some are quite young. Think about it – Taylor Swift was 16 when she started to make money. Gaten Matazzaro from Little Egg Harbor was only 13 when he starred in Season 1 of “Stranger Things.” Further, with the advent of NIL, some athletes as young as 18 go from challenging financial backgrounds to making millions.

Whether an athlete is a young star or an established veteran, they need much more from their lawyer than a well-drafting recording contract to protect them long-term. Effectively representing athletes and artists not only involves contract review and negotiation, but also a knowledge of trademarks, insurance, taxation and estate planning.

Our panel of experts will share these skills and perspectives on the representation of entertainment, arts and athletic professionals whose talents may be temporary, but their wealth can be a lasting legacy. Join us to learn more about representing entertainers and athletes, from earnings to estate planning.
