Coaches and Front-Office Representation

In the dynamic world of both amateur and professional athletics, coaches and front-office personnel stand as pivotal figures, orchestrating plays, mentoring athletes, and shaping the very ethos of teams. Yet, off the field or ice, they face challenges that require legal and professional guidance. With the ever-escalating salary structures in both college and professional sports, these challenges take on a heightened importance.

Key Aspects of Representing Coaches:

• Contractual Negotiations: Coaching and front-office contracts are intricate, encompassing salary, tenure, performance bonuses, and termination clauses. Proper legal representation ensures fair and favorable terms. Reisinger& Partners has assisted several NHL head coaches and assistant coaches in their contract negotiations. We have also assisted a number of front-office personnel in both MLB and NHL in their contract negotiations and disciplinary matters.
• Media & PR Management: Coaches and front-office personnel are increasingly in the media spotlight. Crafting clear communication strategies and managing public relations is crucial to upholding a coach’s reputation.
• Endorsements & Personal Branding: Coaches and front-office personnel, especially those with significant acclaim, often are presented with brand endorsements and other marketing opportunities. We provide the guidance that ensures that these agreements are in our client’s best interest.
• Disciplinary Matters: Reisinger & Partners has successfully represented a number of coaches and front-office personnel in league investigations and disciplinary matters related to violations of league rules.
