In addition to individual players requiring representation, sports lawyers can also be called upon to represent leagues or teams. Take, for example, one of Miami Law’s alums, Dennis Curran, who currently serves as the Senior Vice-President and General Counsel for the NFL Management Council and advises the 32 member teams of the NFL. Another Miami Law alum, Brandon Briggs, works in Legal Affairs for the Miami Dolphins and Hard Rock Stadium, helping to negotiate sponsor agreements, deal with immigration matters for non-citizen players, and handle a wide variety of contract concerns.
