Experienced Representation for Professional Athletes and Entertainers

Another area of law that Schiff & Associates provides is legal representation to elite professional and collegiate athletes and entertainers.  Scott Schiff has 30 years of experience protecting the interest of numerous clients including names such as:  Will Smith; Jared Sullinger; Steve Bellisari; Jeff Graham; Tyrell Biggs; Maurice Clarett; The Allman Brothers Band; Bone Thugs & Harmony, and many more. 

With Mr. Schiff’s extensive legal expertise, he has successfully negotiated multi-million dollar contract deals and assisted clients with preserving capital and other functions often handled by agents, managers, promoters, and general representatives.  As Scott Schiff states, “As a duly licensed attorney and respected member of the Bar, I am held to a higher standard of ethics, honesty and professionalism than your typical non-lawyer agent, manager, promoter or the like.”

One client, Tyrell Biggs, began his professional boxing career after winning an Olympic gold medal in the Super Heavy Weight division.  He came to Scott Schiff to help resurrect his career after losing several big fights.  Through Scott’s expert negotiating skills, Tyrell received a several million dollar payout to defeat another heavy weight boxer.  Scott then went on to negotiate seven additional bouts and paychecks for Biggs.  

  

Another hallmark case for Scott Schiff was when he was the first lawyer in the history of the WBO to successfully challenge a decision in a fight and to restore a title.  The client, Manning Galloway, was a WBO Welter Weight Champion who lost a decision in Denmark to Gert Jacoben.  When Manning returned to the States, he hired Schiff to file the appeal with the WBO Boxing Commission who later restored his Championship status. Schiff also arranged four more Championship defense fights that gave Manning hundreds of thousands of dollars in additional purse revenue.
