NIL

ChessAguero Law also advises student-athletes and families on NIL (Name, Image, and Likeness) contracts and opportunities.

Aguero Law provides legal guidance to help athletes and their families understand, evaluate, and negotiate NIL opportunities safely and effectively.

The landscape surrounding Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL) opportunities is evolving rapidly. Student-athletes are increasingly approached with endorsement deals, sponsorship opportunities, and other agreements that can have long-term financial and eligibility implications.

How Aguero Law Can Help

NIL Contract Review

Before signing any agreement, it is critical to understand:

  • Payment structure and obligations
  • Length of the agreement
  • Exclusivity provisions
  • Intellectual property rights
  • Termination terms

We review NIL agreements to identify risks, clarify obligations, and ensure your interests are aggressively protected.

NIL Deal Negotiation

Many NIL agreements are negotiable—but most athletes and families don’t realize it.

We assist with:

  • Improving compensation terms
  • Clarifying deliverables
  • Limiting restrictive provisions
  • Structuring agreements that are fair and enforceable

Guidance for Athletes and Parents

For many families, NIL is new and unfamiliar.

We provide straightforward guidance on:

  • How NIL opportunities work
  • Common pitfalls and red flags
  • How to evaluate whether a deal is legitimate
  • When to move forward—and when to walk away
