Representative clients and a description of work we have done for them follow:

Cincinnati Bengals
We represent the Cincinnati Bengals generally and have done so since the team was first founded in 1967. We have been involved in all aspects of its corporate structure, litigation including class action representation and antitrust issues, tax, labor relations, facility development and contracts with athletes, ticketholders, advertisers, sponsors, and suppliers. That activity has most recently included the development, design, and construction of Paul Brown Stadium, which opened on the riverfront in Cincinnati in 2000.

Tennis Cincinnati
We represent generally Tennis Cincinnati, which owns the Western and Southern Financial Group Masters Tennis Tournament and the Western and Southern Financial Group Women's Tennis Tournament, both played just north of Cincinnati. We also represent Tennis for Charity, a non-profit organization that operates both tournaments each year and owns the facility where they are played. The men's event is one of the top nine ATP tournaments in the world. The women's event is a WTA Tier 3 tournament recently acquired and moved to Cincinnati from Croatia. We have been involved in extensive work in connection with the relationships between the men's tournament and the ATP, the sanction for the tournament, international licensing agreements, and other related matters.

U.S. Bank Arena
We represent on a general basis this sports and events facility located in downtown Cincinnati. We have been involved in a variety of matters ranging from construction, site and access issues to tenant relations including litigation and potential litigation with sports team tenants.

Amateur sports
Our attorneys are regularly called upon by the University of Cincinnati, Xavier University, and Case Western Reserve University for sports-related matters both large and small. Prior to our current representation of the University of Cincinnati, we represented the NCAA when it was sued by the University of Cincinnati in connection with a potential downgrade of the University's athletic status.

We also represented, on a general basis, the Greater Cincinnati Sports and Convention Commission, which worked to bring both amateur and professional sports events to venues in Cincinnati.
