ESPN Sports Agent Film Features The Lanier Law Firm Adviser, Attorney

HOUSTON, Oct. 13, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- "The Dotted Line," a new film about the world of sports agents from acclaimed documentary filmmaker Morgan Spurlock, premiered this week on ESPN.

The ESPN Films documentary follows the lives of top agents in the NBA, NFL, and Major League Baseball to examine what goes on behind the scenes when sports agents represent star athletes.

Eugene Egdorf, head of The Lanier Law Firm's Sports and Entertainment Law group, was involved in several aspects of the filming.

The critically acclaimed movie includes a close look at up-and-coming NFL agent Eugene T. Lee of New York. Mr. Lee is the President and CEO of ETL Associates Inc., which has partnered with The Lanier Law Firm to complement its Sports and Entertainment Law group.

Through their experience and relationships with NFL franchise general managers, personnel directors, coaches, and scouts, Mr. Lee and ETL Associates have earned a league-wide reputation for tenacious advocacy and sterling integrity in client contract negotiations.

Mr. Egdorf serves as vice president and general counsel of ETL Associates. He also appears briefly in the film during footage of ETL Associates' draft-day war room.

A noted sports attorney, Mr. Egdorf represented the family of a deceased Rice University student-athlete and negotiated a landmark settlement with the school and the NCAA that resulted in the NCAA for the first time recommending that universities conduct sickle-cell testing on all student-athletes. Mr. Egdorf currently represents the family of Bennie Abram, a University of Mississippi (Ole Miss) student-athlete who died during a spring practice.

ETL has teamed up with The Lanier Law Firm to offer legal representation to athletes, teams, owners, and executives from all professional sports leagues in a variety of sports-related disputes.
