The winter months are supposed to bring a natural slowing down to business, but I cannot remember a time that I have ever been busier.  Believe me, that is not a complaint.  If the NFL season ended today, the Dolphins would make the playoffs … and Richie Incognito’s grievance hearing would still be stayed.  Thanksgiving and Hanukkah are right around the corner.  This is one of the best times of the year!  Past week on FORBES: (1) Chicago Startup In Position To Revolutionize NFL Players’ Concussion Detection And Analysis; (2) Monday Night Football’s Matchup Of Tom Brady And Cam Newton Puts Under Armour Under Center; (3) Electronic Arts And Collegiate Licensing Company Sued By NCAA In What Could Be Much More Than A Sideshow; and (4) Bridgestone Arena Banking On Nashville Predators With Goal To Become No. 1 Venue.

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