Hackney Publications (HP), the nation’s leading publisher of sports law periodicals, will publish its 6th annual list of “100 Law Firms with Sports Law Practice Groups You Need to Know About” on March 16.
It won’t be easy identifying the top 100 for the portal, which recognizes excellence and serves as a resource for those in need of experienced and capable legal counsel in the sports law arena.
“in recent years, there has been a surge of law firms that have announced their entry into the sports industry,” said Holt Hackney, the CEO of HP. “There are several reasons for this, such as the growth of NIL work in collegiate athletics and the legalization of sports betting. Today, there are several hundred sports law practices groups worthy of consideration, triple the amount of ten years ago.”
HP will continue to produce the list at 100lawfirms.com, as well as share its unveiling across its many platforms when it is announced.
“Firms will be recognized, regardless of whether they are a subscriber, or a customer of HP,” Hackney added. “This is our giveback to the industry.”
If a law firm is not on the list, but would like to be considered, they are encouraged to complete the following form – https://100lawfirms.com/law-firm-entry-form/
