Name, Image, and Likeness in Nevada

Representation for Athletes with NIL Matters in 

When athletes start to get famous, their name, image, and likeness (NIL) begin to become valuable. Sports agents help athletes build and monetize their NIL to get endorsements and other monetary rewards.

If you oversee an individual’s right to publicity, tread carefully, especially if the athlete you are representing is enrolled in college or university. Student-athletes and their agents are subject to special rules and regulations, and endorsements, appearances, and sponsorship must be negotiated carefully.

For help navigating NIL, look no further than Flynn Giudici. We offer tailored, committed services to help your business succeed.

What Is NIL?

NIL stands for name, image, and likeness. Public figures can control how their name, image, and likeness are used, so NIL laws protect an individual’s right to publicity. Many athletes hire sports agents or lawyers to help them oversee their NIL and facilitate deals with businesses.

For example, a marathon runner might hire an agent to help them negotiate sponsorship deals with popular fitness brands like Nike and Salomon or organize public appearances and interviews.

Due to recent policy changes from the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA)—driven by a seminal court opinion by the United States Supreme Court—athletes at all levels can monetize their name, image, and likeness. Along with NIL agencies and collectives, many sports agents and attorneys have stepped up to help student-athletes negotiate deals.

Our NIL attorneys can help, too.

Navigating NIL Opportunities

Athletes at all levels have plenty of opportunities to earn money from their name, image, and likeness. To make these opportunities possible, however, they must navigate contracts and avoid the legal landmines that may arise.
