OUR MISSION

Brad Blank and Presient Barak Obama recently reunite. The two first met while students at Columbia University in 1983. Competence and integrity. Trustworthiness and reliability. Conviction and concern. These are the qualities that best describe the efforts of Brad Blank & Associates, Inc.

As you continue your career in football, it is important that you select representation that can maximize the various opportunities that seem headed your way. Obviously, you want someone you can trust. You want someone who can get you the best deal. You want someone who can assist you in many areas, personally as well as professionally. And, no less important, you want someone who cares about you.

Brad Blank & Associates, Inc., a team of highly skilled attorneys and professionals, combines the best of these attributes. Over many years, the group has negotiated some of the highest-paying contracts in professional sports. In the course of establishing an unparalleled reputation for the ability to get its clients top dollar, Brad Blank & Associates has won the universal respect of Club ownership and management. Significantly, the firm's record is also marked by a history of unmitigated client satisfaction.

Moreover, Brad Blank & Associates offers a range of services that is both broad in category and deep in quality. The group's expertise extends to all areas of relevance to the professional athlete, including contract, investment, tax, endorsement, insurance, strength and conditioning. It is in these seemingly secondary, yet still significant areas that Brad Blank & Associates will accomplish what its competition cannot.

Equally important is the company's unyielding commitment to integrity. In a sports era that is often marred by unscrupulousness and scandal, Brad Blank & Associates remains dedicated to the highest degree of ethical conduct.

Finally, we demonstrate an intense concern for the well being of the individual client. Whereas sports management companies have been transformed into conglomerate-like factories, these men are, above all, human beings interested in building life-long interpersonal relationships with their clients.
