Pittsburgh Sports Law Committee – SPORTS AGENT BLOG

Pittsburgh Sports Law Committee

Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania has its fair share of influential sports lawyers.  Now they have their own hangout.

Gerik Jenco, a University of Pittsburgh law student who is also the Director of Operations for Del Duca Sports, came up with the idea of creating a Sports Law Committee of the Allegheny County Bar Association.  The chair of the Committee is former NFL Player, attorney-agent, and sports law educator, Ralph Cindrich.  Sports attorney Jay Reisinger is the Committee’s vice chair.

Roughly a dozen people showed up to the Committee’s first meeting, but the group is expected to grow to about thirty members strong.  If you are a sports lawyer or law student in the Greater Pittsburgh area and think you would be interested in becoming a part of the group, reach out to one of the people linked above.

Darren Heitner created Sports Agent Blog as a New Year's Resolution on December 31, 2005. Originally titled, "I Want To Be A Sports Agent," the website was founded with the intention of causing Heitner to learn more about the profession that he wanted to join, meet reputable individuals in the space and force himself to stay on top of the latest news and trends.

Heitner now runs Heitner Legal, P.L.L.C., which is a law firm with many practice areas, including sports law and contract law. Heitner has represented numerous athletes and sports agents as legal counsel. He has also served as an Adjunct Professor at Indiana University Bloomington from 2011-2014, where he created and taught a course titled, Sport Agency Management, which included subjects ranging from NCAA regulations to athlete agent certification and the rules governing the profession. Heitner serves as an Adjunct Professor at the University of Florida Levin College of Law, where he teaches a Sports Law class that includes case law surrounding athlete agents and the NCAA rules.
