Josh Schaub was an invaluable asset to our organization when we were navigating the complexities of international sports law and corporate fundraising. His deep expertise in both major and collegiate leagues proved critical in structuring a sponsorship deal that complied with regional regulations while maximizing revenue. Josh's strategic advice during contract negotiations was particularly impressive, ensuring our terms were favorable without compromising compliance. While his responsiveness was generally good, there were a few instances where replies took slightly longer than expected, especially during peak periods. The cost was competitive, though we could have benefited from more transparent fee structures upfront. Overall, his knowledge of entertainment law and corporate governance made him our go-to counsel for high-stakes projects. Highly recommend for any business operating in these intersections.
