Friday Wrap-Up

Shabbat Shalom: Friday Wrap-Up (2/5/2010)

It has been a very busy week.  After concluding the 2010 UF Sports Law Symposium, it was time to take a day off and relax a bit.  Then right back to work.  Pete Parise is over in Venezuela representing Puerto Rico in the Serie del Caribe 2010, also known as the Caribbean World Series.  He continues to pitch extremely well in important situations.  Brandon Brown was not enjoying his move to BC Suduva (in Lithuania), so yesterday we found him a new home in Poland with Kotwica Kolobrzeg SA.  We are in talks to add a big name women’s MMA fighter to our client roster and also have been in discussions with a producer who is interested in licensing Buster Douglas’ likeness (in addition to other things) for a potential movie.  South Florida has been a blast, and the parties are not yet over.  How about UF’s recruiting class?  Here are some stories I missed over the past week:

  • Arn Tellem is not fond of trade-demand fines [A Fine Mess].

Heitner has represented numerous athletes and sports agents as legal counsel.
