The NBA’s free agency period starts today and several teams are jockeying for position in their bid to land basketball superstar LeBron James. We checked in with the 25-year-old phenom’s longtime lawyer at Squire, Sanders & Dempsey to talk about his part in managing the maneuvers over where his client will play next season.
Frederick Nance, a Squire Sanders regional managing partner operating out of the firm’s Cleveland office, has represented James since he first turned pro seven years ago. Nance (pictured right) was out of the office on Thursday, but we exchanged some messages. He notes that James is being represented in contract negotiations by NBA agent Leon Rose, a former partner at regional firm Sherman, Silverstein, Kohl, Rose & Podolsky, where his father Zev still works.
