What the coverage documents
The Wall Street Journal quoted Aaron Resnick in its reporting on the development of upscale nightclubs inside sports arenas, a piece examining how venues built for games were being rebuilt as year round hospitality businesses.
Miami New Times reported in 2012 that Aaron represented four professional football players in litigation seeking the return of deposits on W South Beach condo hotel units. The New York Times covered the same dispute and quoted Aaron on the complexity of condo hotel investments.
The firm has represented professional athletes across the NFL, NBA, and MLB.
Why athlete representation is business litigation
The public version of sports law is contracts and endorsements. The version that actually generates disputes is ordinary business litigation with an unusual client.
Athletes acquire real estate, invest in restaurants and nightlife, take equity in ventures introduced by people in their circle, and sign agreements drafted by someone else's lawyer during a compressed window between seasons. When those deals fail, the resulting case is a partnership dispute, a real estate dispute, or a contract dispute. The W South Beach matters were deposit and disclosure litigation over condo hotel units, which is the same body of law that governs any other purchaser.
Two things distinguish the representation. The first is timing. A client whose availability is dictated by a season cannot be scheduled around like an ordinary business owner, and matters have to be structured to move without him. The second is exposure. Filings involving a recognizable name attract coverage that a comparable dispute would never draw, which means the litigation and the press posture have to be managed together from the first filing.
That combination, business litigation for clients whose disputes are public by default, runs through the arena hospitality work, the condo hotel matters, and the entertainment industry disputes the firm has handled.
What the record does not establish
The Miami New Times and New York Times coverage of the W South Beach matters reports allegations made in litigation. No disposition is stated here, and nothing on this page should be read as a statement of outcome in those matters.
