Shipman, the Senior Partner of Shipman & Wright law firm. Since its inception, Shipman & Wright has developed a nationwide reputation of providing first class representation to its clients, based upon client service and result. After years of witnessing the under-representation of Professional Athletes, several colleagues and clients involved in college and professional sports encouraged our expansion into the representation of Professional Athletes. Our clients have included professional athletes, professional and college coaches, prospective professional sports franchise owners, entertainers, producers, musicians and artists. Our team has successfully negotiated thousands of contracts from joint venture agreements to professional service contracts. Accordingly, we have insurmountable knowledge and experience in litigating and negotiating complex contracts and/or agreements. There is literally no area of need by a Professional Athlete, whether personal or professional, that our firm does not have direct experience in handling. We strive on the ability to meet each and every need of our clients. Our team at SW Sports not only represents, but educates and helps our athletes recognize that life in professional sports is statistically short. Therefore, we focus on maximizing our athlete’s brand and revenues during their career, while preparing them for life after sports. We not only maximize our athlete’s earnings from their individual sport, but also provide as much focus and attention on evaluating, with a full service lens, cross platform marketing opportunities for our athletes, with an understanding and acceptance of today’s market place. SW Sports helps our athletes generate long term strategies that will equate to long term success beyond their years of play.
