The Agent's Basic Duties

Sports agents are used, by both athletes and coaches, to provide a buffer between the client and the prospective team. As one of their primary focus is to negotiate various contracts, many agents are attorneys as well. All agents must work with their athletes’ best interest in mind. One of the most renowned sports agents, Drew Rosenhaus, is known for his exceptional ability to take on challenges and work with athletes for the benefit of them and himself. Rosenhaus is a leader in the industry.

People have been entertained by sport since before the gladiators in the Roman Coliseum. In the 20th century, the publics’ passion for sport consumes more and more of their free time. As sports figures became internationally recognized, athletes began to realize their need for professional representation. Thus, sports agents were born. The field of sports agents has grown since then into an enormous field. Agents now deal with every aspect of an athlete’s life. Agents can be considered professional mangers who find the best place for their client’s talent.

For example, you must rely on copyright to protect yourself against unauthorized use of your photographs and other things such as video and film. What I’m saying is…that an athlete cannot rely on anyone’s Intellectual Property Rights but must look to a collection of Intellectual Property Rights in order to protect yourself when necessary. Branding is another big issue and very important to athletes. Many companies know that the face of a well-known athlete is really good for business, but that’s not exactly promotes business. Companies should pick a well-known athlete who can best personalize their values and personality…to the point of becoming the face of the business. And what comes with this process is a license agreement, allowing the company to use the athlete's name (including signature), image or other similar qualities. Licensing agreements, money wise, is really huge for the parties involved and because of this, can last into retirement after their career. Michael Jordan, one of the best basketball players ever, is an example of an athlete whose image has remained very marketable long after his legendary basketball

The Federal Bureau of Investigation is the United States main federal law enforcement agency. It is operated under the United States Department of Justice and is a member of the United States National Intelligence Community. The National Bureau of Criminal Identification was founded 1896 in order to identify criminals across the nation. This organization was combined with numerous other agencies and changed names multiple times. In 1935 this organization was given its final name, The Federal Bureau of Investigation. The FBI employs some 33,000 people which around 13,000 are Special Agents. (FBI) In this paper I will be discussing different aspects of being a Special Agent.

Understanding the legal relationship between an agent and a client is fundamental to accurately interpreting the ethical dilemmas

Let us imagine an individual A within our group. Individual A clearly has the ethical responsibilities the likes of which outlined above. This individual A has some capital and wishes to obtain more capital. To this end, A gives individual B all of his capital, and tasks B with stealing someone else’s goods and then selling them. In this case, is A absolved of responsibility because they are not the agent performing the act? No. The existence of an agent does not absolve the owner of their responsibilities, but adds to them.

“The considerations of practicality and principle discussed … above appear to support the respondents ' case, namely that a bribe or secret commission accepted by an agent is held on trust for his principal. The position is perhaps rather less clear when one examines the decided cases … However, to put it at its lowest, the authorities do not preclude us adopting the respondents ' case in that they do not represent a clear and consistent line of authority to the contrary effect. Indeed, we consider that, taken as a whole, the authorities favour the respondents ' case.” (per Lord Neuberger in FHR European Ventures LLP and others v Cedar Capital Partners LLC [2014] UKSC 45 at [46].

With that being said, an agent-employee has to abide by their own ethics and that should override the employee’s loyalty to the employer. If the employer asks something of you that goes against your ethical values, then you need to take your values into consideration first. However, you also need to abide by the professional code of ethics and

Due to more innovation in technology, the professional sport industry has become more global and widespread (Masteralexis, Barr & Hums, 2012, p. 255). All of these factors are reasons why the industry is the multi-billion-dollar industry it is today. Professional sports are broken down to individual sports, like golf or tennis, and team sports which include the NBA, NFL, MLB, NHL, and MLS (Masteralexis, Barr & Hums, 2012, p. 232). Whether it be in one of these many leagues or an individual sport, there are many different jobs available in the industry as well. Jobs in professional sport can go from working as a general manager to working ticket sales to being a sports agent (Masteralexis, Barr & Hums, 2012, p. 249-253). There are plenty of opportunities available in the world of professional sports that allows interested students to work for their preferred sporting event or organization in whatever position they enjoy the

The job of a sports agent is to represent coaches, managers, or pro athletes by giving them legal consulting, handling endorsement contracts, or negotiating contracts.

In American politics, there are multiple examples of the phenomena known as the principle-agent problem. A principle-agent problem is when a person (the principal) hires another person (the agent) to perform a job that the principle cannot do themselves. However, the agent in these situations may go against the wishes of the principle for their own benefit, making the whole exchange a risk for the principle. In everyday life, an example of a principle-agent problem is when a person hires a mechanic. They hire a mechanic because they don’t have the knowledge, or the ability, to do the job. Unfortunately, the mechanic is aware of this, and may try to get more compensation by charging for more than is actually required. In the American political system, a specific example of the principle-agent is the relationship between the heads of the Central Intelligence Agency and the agents they employ.

My husband, Edwardo, and I were traveling home from Rome, Italy and our terrible experience began from the moment we went through security. I informed the agent I had a flat iron in my carryon bag and asked if I should remove it. I was instructed to leave it in the bag, which I did. I was then informed that my baggage needed to be examined. The agent carelessly removed all of my belongings, left them on the table, and informed me not to touch them. The agent then walked away and said she would be right back. As I waited, another agent came to examine someone else’s bag. She started pushing all of my belongings out of the way and telling me to remove them. I informed her that the previous agent told me to wait and not touch them. She

The first way that a contract of agency can be terminated is if there is an expiry of time. So to expand, when the contract between an agent and a principal was made, it could have a specific time period, by which the agent is allowed to act on behalf of the principal, and so when this time period expires, the

I admit that I am somewhat shielded from agents, and people in general, who lack ambition. Still, on occasion I encounter them. Make no mistake about it, these types are deadly. They will sink your business, either on purpose, or by accident. Or at the very least, keep you/it from doing amazing things. Do all you can to steer clear of those that lack ambition and surround yourself with those that possess it.
