Protecting Athletes. Enforcing Rights. Closing Game-Changing Deals.

Elevate Legal Services, PLLC is a law firm, not a marketing agency, branding firm, or collective. We’re legal professionals committed to protecting athletes in the evolving Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL) space, and we bring real courtroom experience and high-level contract expertise to the table.

Jay M. Arnesen, Managing Partner at Elevate Legal, is a nationally recognized NIL attorney who has advised student-athletes, agents, schools, and collectives nationwide. When the legal side of NIL gets complicated—or turns into a dispute—Jay is the lawyer agents, families, and athletes call first.

A Leading NIL Lawyer Athletes & Agents Trust

Jay M. Arnesen has over two decades of legal experience and an extensive background handling complex sports-related contract negotiations, NIL compliance issues, and high-value sponsorship disputes. He’s advised high school athletes, NCAA stars, and professional prospects on NIL strategy, deal terms, and brand protection.

In many cases, Jay is called in to resolve high-stakes disputes involving unpaid NIL compensation, agent conflicts, or regulatory enforcement from schools or the NCAA. He also routinely supports NIL collectives, universities, and sports agents navigating state-specific NIL laws and NCAA policy.

Whether it’s contract drafting, regulatory advice, or aggressive litigation to recover what’s owed, Jay deeply understands the legal and business dimensions of NIL.

Our NIL Legal Services Include:

• Contract Drafting & Negotiation: From first-time brand deals to multi-party sponsorships, we ensure that NIL agreements protect the athlete’s rights and hold up under scrutiny.
• Dispute Resolution & Litigation: Unpaid NIL money? Contract breach? Jay and his litigation team pursue what you’re owed and enforce your rights in and out of court.
• NIL Compliance & Eligibility Review: We help athletes and collectives stay on the right side of NCAA, state, and institutional policies, protecting deals and eligibility.
• Advisory Services for Agents, Collectives, & Families: We work with agents, collectives, and parents to evaluate opportunities and avoid legal pitfalls.
• Representation in NCAA Enforcement Actions: If you’re under review or facing disciplinary action tied to NIL activity, we represent your interests and interface directly with compliance officers and school counsel.
• Trademark, Licensing & IP Protection: Your name is your brand. We help you protect it legally through federal trademarks and strong intellectual property agreements.

NIL Opportunities Are Booming. Legal Oversight Isn’t Optional.

Student-athletes are now earning serious income through appearances, endorsements, merchandise sales, social media deals, autograph signings, and more. But with opportunity comes risk.

Many athletes are signing contracts without legal review. Others are being misled by agents or platforms promising fast money and delivering vague terms, or no compensation at all.

We’ve seen it all. And we’ve fixed it.

Before you sign anything, consult an experienced NIL attorney who knows how to spot the red flags, structure strong deals, and fight for your interests when something goes wrong.

Unpaid NIL Compensation? We’ll Fight To Recover It.

If you signed a deal and the promised money never came through, you may be entitled to compensation under contract law. Elevate Legal Services, PLLC aggressively represents athletes in breach of contract matters, unpaid sponsorship disputes, and NIL agreement litigation.

Our legal team has deep experience in commercial collections, contract enforcement, and sports law—giving you the firepower you need when promises aren’t kept.

Although Elevate Legal Services, PLLC, is headquartered in Florida, Jay M. Arnesen regularly works with local counsel to support athletes across the country, from Power Five conference players to elite high school recruits and beyond. If you’ve received an NIL offer or you’re already in an agreement that feels off, we’re ready to step in.
