Sports & Entertainment

Celebrities and athletes are driven to be the best. This drive allows for little time to focus on much else. Having an experienced team of advisors that regularly partners with professional athletes and celebrities can make a dramatic difference. Placing trust in the wrong team of advisors can have severe repercussions.

We understand the challenges you face, your highs and lows, and what risks should be considered. Vanbridge has substantial experience within the college, professional sports and entertainment industries. Our experience is not simply as a risk advisor but cultivated by our own team who were successful professional athletes and entertainers themselves.

Whether participating in a team sport or an individual sport, Professional Athletes’ careers expose themselves to countless possible injuries and illnesses. A minor disability may become career-ending.
