Kansas City-based Spencer Fane LLP has assembled a team of lawyers — including two in Nashville — to launch a sports law practice. The new practice will be led by Denver-based Peter Goplerud and Nashville lawyers Loren Mulraine and James Crumlin. The practice will build on work already being done by the firm in areas such as name, image and likeness (NIL) deals, the Nashville Business Journal reports. The team will focus on corporate, entertainment, higher education, intellectual property and labor and employment law; contract negotiations; internal investigations; and National Collegiate Athletic Association compliance and eligibility issues. Spencer Fane entered the Nashville market in 2021 when it merged with Bone McAllester Norton PLLC.
