Landon Williams was a part of Creative Artists Agency’s (CAA) baseball division when the company negotiated the largest contract (at the time) in baseball history. It was a $127.5 million deal for San Francisco Giants pitcher Matt Cain. Prior to joining CAA, Williams helped build and brand a baseball division at Athletic Resource Management (ARM), increasing the firm’s baseball prospects from 5 to more than 20, establishing ARM Baseball as a legitimate player in the industry.
Now Williams is a Senior Associate at Cushman & Wakefield/Commercial Advisors, where he will focus on advising the company’s occupier clients with a focus on Memphis and global multi-market work. “Landon is a rare find and joins several other of our young super stars as the next generation of leadership of our firm,” said Kemp Conrad, Principal. “We are building a durable business that can serve our clients for the next 20 years, and Landon will be a key part of that. His proven track record in contract negotiations will dovetail well into arranging complex real estate transactions for our clients.”
Williams’ departure from CAA and the athlete representation business was a family decision. “CAA is an amazing group of agents!” Landon commented, “They certainly do business the right way, and their clients’ contracts prove that.”
Sports Agent Blog wishes Williams the best as he makes the transition from sports agency to real estate transactions.
