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.
The positive news in the wake of Hurricane Irma is that my homes in Fort Lauderdale experienced no currently known structural damage. The negative is that the storm seriously affected the grid. Only yesterday did I regain power and I have still yet to get my Internet and cable back. But overall, I consider it […]

Please make sure that you have taken any and all precautions as […]

Officially less than four months until full usage of #SoaringToNewHeitners and the wedding takes place — in Boca, Florida. It was quite an eventful week with a lot going on at Heitner Legal. Scored a big win in summary judgment for a corporate client that is thrilled with the result, especially since we also helped […]
It’s been one of those weeks. You can’t find enough hours in the day to get things done. The political climate completely frustrates you and you feel helpless in causing change anywhere near the top. There are a lot of positive things, but also a lot of frustrations, especially when little things add up. To […]
The Miami Dolphins signed Jay Cutler and the QB is reunited with his former coach. It’s probably not the optimal situation, but it was a nice quick fix after seeing Ryan Tannehill go down. Maybe it saves the season? After one preseason game, it is a bit too tough to tell. Life is getting back […]
Well it’s been one hell of a week. The El Clasico Miami was an awesome event and my buddy Daniel Sillman did a great job as host. It is clear that Miami is a great host city for international soccer matches. Then, on Monday, I closed on a new house and home office, which is […]
