Lowe & Associates – Offering expert legal services with an eye towards the economics of dispute resolution

Athletes have used personal representatives to negotiate contracts and sponsorship deals since 1925 when Red Grange, an American footballer, hired an agent to negotiate his professional contract. Since then, professional and amateur sports have grown, and personal representation has been vital to athletes and any individual or body associated with sport. As sport has evolved, contract negotiations have expanded from professional contracts to sponsorship deals and even competition entry. It has become increasingly important for athletes to obtain proper legal representation.

Since it was founded in 1991, Lowe Law has continuously provided cutting-edge, aggressive and strategic legal services to clients with a superb success rate. Over the years, the firm's practice has grown to encompass the representation of plaintiffs and defendants in the areas of sports, entertainment and business in general.
