Can I seek advice from an attorney or third party regarding a proposed professional contract?
A student-athlete can seek advice from an attorney or third party regarding a proposed professional contract if that attorney or third party does not represent the student-athlete in negotiations for that contract. It is not permissible for an attorney or third party to be present during discussions of a contract with a professional team, and the attorney or third party may not have contact with a professional sports organization on your behalf. It is considered representation if an attorney or third party are present during such discussions.
