The Business of Sports

Leigh Steinberg Business of Sports

The Montefiore Society of JFFS invites financial services professionals to "The Business of Sports," an evening with super-agent Leigh Steinberg, next Wednesday, May 22nd at 6:30pm (Pacific Club, Newport Beach). $40 couvert includes appetizers and dessert.

An expert on issues relating to the business of sports and player advocacy, Steinberg founded his sports law practice in 1975 when he negotiated a then-record contract for Steve Bartkowski, the first overall draft pick in the NFL, eclipsing previous standard bearers such as Joe Namath. Steinberg's past clients include NFL stars, Hall of Famers and boxing legends: Troy Aikman, Steve Young, Warren Moon, Drew Bledsoe, Ben Roethlisberger, Lennox Lewis and Oscar De La Hoya, to name just a few. Steinberg has also played an instrumental role in helping his clients develop meaningful post-athletic careers through community service and philanthropy.
