Dana L. Hooper, a shareholder in global law firm Greenberg Traurig, LLP’s Phoenix office, negotiated and secured a multi-year contract extension with New Balance for professional soccer player Raquel “Rocky” Rodríguez. Rodríguez stars as a midfielder for the Portland Thorns in the National Women’s Soccer League and is one of the most decorated players in Costa Rica National Soccer Team history. The deal is significant to Rodríguez because – in addition to New Balance continuing its endorsement – the sportswear brand is supporting Rodríguez philanthropic interests, especially in her home country of Costa Rica. Hooper is a sports agent and sports law attorney. Her practice concentrates on representation of both athletes and sports-oriented businesses.
