Name, Image and Likeness Lawsuit (“NIL”)

One of the most consequential changes in the law relating to college students is the legalization of “Name, Image, and Likeness” compensation for college athletes. This area of the law is growing and changing at a rapid pace, and we are proud to be on the frontlines of this compelling and important protection for the rights and labor of college athletes. The ability to articulate, argue, and prosecute claims against universities for fraudulent inducement to enter, or subsequent breaches of, NIL agreements is an extremely rare area of practice in the United States. Each and every win or loss in this nascent area of law effectuates a change in the body of law that judges will continue to interpret and apply. We pride ourselves on careful and complex litigation against universities for NIL claims, regardless of the university we are facing.

NIL claims are complex, and the law around NIL payments for college athletes is changing quickly. Having an attorney who is actively litigating and fighting for college students in this emerging practice area is incredibly important. If you think a college, university, or NIL collective has violated an NIL agreement with you or a family member, you may be entitled to those NIL payments and additional damages.
