Trying to understand indemnity? See below for a quick explainer. TL;DR: Student-athletes, don’t indemnify the company in your NIL contracts!
Most (like 90%) of the contracts you will or have entered into will reference "indemnity" and "defense." As an attorney, negotiating those terms are a good chunk of my job. You should understand them and how they affect you. Very generally: 1/6

I think she’s talking about us! 😊😊😊 Rachael, thank you for teaching us about TESS2! We’re lucky to learn from a pro. 👩🏻‍💻💼
Husband John: "Why do you keep giving guest lectures on searching the trademark register??" Me: "I just really enjoy introducing people to this weird ass tool."

We're happy to help the stellar students and student-athletes @OhioState! #GoBucks #NIL
Replying to @SportsBizMiss
Ohio State athletics partnered with its law school so student athletes can get contracts reviewed. Wanted to remove as many barriers as possible, so doesn't have to be in person, and it's pretty quick. Athletes can upload and get feedback within 48 hours. Open to all students.

Curious about how Midwest venture deals differ from coastal venture deals? Check out the paper below. TL;DR: Midwest venture deals contain more investor-friendly terms that aim to provide investors w/ greater control and higher returns on an early exit!
Regional Venture Deals is now in print! An enormous thank you to the editors @BBLJBerkeley, my colleagues @OSU_Law and elsewhere, and the interviewees who graciously volunteered their time. I couldn’t have done it without you. 🙏 papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.…
