Snell & Wilmer in Phoenix Spins Off Sports Agency

March 9, 2010

As a corporate and finance attorney at Phoenix-based Snell & Wilmer, Travis Leach occasionally represents sports industry figures -- often with their side businesses or other ventures. Those industry connections were the genesis for Snell's newest subsidiary: a sports agency called Athlete Management Professionals. Major firms often represent professional athletes, but it's unusual for one to open its own stand-alone sports agency, said Leach, who is running the venture with five other Snell attorneys.
