About

I have more than a decade of experience providing legal guidance and strategy to professional sports organizations and event venues. I pride myself on providing clear, practical advice. My clients include teams in the NFL, NBA, NHL, MLS, and NWSL, as well as major professional leagues. Within sports, I have a focus on soccer (my favorite sport as well). I have represented and provided legal guidance to: clubs in MLS, USL, NWSL and MLS NEXT Pro, soccer-specific venues, youth soccer academies, domestic and international professional leagues, and prominent soccer sponsors, media companies, and event organizers. I was also an officer of the entity that launched a successful bid for Boston as a host city for the 2026 FIFA World Cup. I also have a focus on drafting and negotiating sponsorship and venue naming rights agreements. I represent teams, stadiums, and sponsors and have handled deals involving all major sports leagues, with combined deal values of more than a billion dollars. Prior to starting Lehrer Law in 2021, I spent nine years as in-house counsel at The Kraft Group in Foxboro, Massachusetts providing legal counsel to various entities, including the New England Patriots, New England Revolution, Kraft Analytics Group, and Gillette Stadium.
