Series I — LLC · Empire Sports Group
Elite athlete representation built for the modern era. From contract negotiations to brand partnerships, we put our clients in a position to win everywhere that matters.
About This Series
Empire's Agency Series is a full-service sports agency legally structured as its own independent series under Empire Sports Group LLC. That separation isn't just legal housekeeping — it means your representation is its own operation, with its own focus, accountability, and mandate.
We represent athletes across professional leagues and handle every dimension of their career — from the negotiating table to the boardroom, from draft day to the next chapter.
Empire Agency Series is legally formed as a series of Empire Sports Group LLC and is pending registration and certification — it is not yet an active, licensed agency. Full operations — including athlete signing and contract representation — will commence only once the required registrations and league/NIL certifications are received. Prospective clients and partners are encouraged to submit inquiries now to be among the first contacted at launch. Empire's Media Series and Athlete Management Series, by contrast, are already registered and fully active.
Currently Available
The following services are available now, while Agency Series licensing is pending. These are management and advisory services — not agent services. See the Athlete & Parent FAQ for full details →
Personal brand strategy, content calendar creation, social media coordination, PR planning, and media training.
Scheduling, travel coordination, inbox organization, organizing appearances, and coordinating shoots. No outbound communications on the athlete's behalf.
Budgeting assistance, bookkeeping coordination, helping structure an LLC (executed through the athlete's attorney or CPA), and vendor management.
Helping athletes track NIL disclosure deadlines and understand market-appropriate opportunities. Project management support — not legal advice.
We make introductions to brands and institutions but do not negotiate terms. Any opportunity is handed off to a licensed attorney or registered agent. We introduce, we inform, and we step back.
Educating athletes and families on NIL rules across schools and states.
Helping athletes understand market-appropriate opportunities.
Supporting brand positioning and authentic storytelling.
Connecting athletes to licensed agents when representation is needed.
Certification Roadmap
Certification is being pursued in sequence, not all at once. Here's the order, and where we're intentionally not going.
State-level NIL/college athlete agent registration is the first domino — the foundation everything else is built on.
NBPA agent certification, pursued once NIL/college registration is in place.
MLBPA agent certification.
FIFA agent licensing for international soccer representation.
Empire Agency Series is not pursuing NFLPA certification, and does not represent Division I college basketball athletes. These are deliberate scope decisions, not licensing gaps — if your sport or level falls outside this roadmap, our Athlete Management Series or Media Series may still be a fit.
