Protecting digital identity and creating NIL assets which can be protected under property law requires legal expertise. Freely issuing unprotected digital content of one’s name, image, or likeness invites counterfeiting, knockoffs and revenue loss, as well as privacy loss and brand dilution. Moreover, free and unfettered minting of NFTs containing NIL assets may transgress rules, regulations, laws and contracts.

Recognizing these legal risks, principles from the Sports-ISAO have formed the Identity Asset Advisors to work with the CyberJuris Network to ensure legal and advisory services are available for athletes, clubs, universities and other individuals and organizations so that NIL assets are created and offered into the marketplace in an appropriate and compliant manner.

The CyberJuris Network is an alliance of lawyers with experience at the intersection of privacy, intellectual property, cyberlaw, sports law, and digital transformation. More information is available at www.cyberjurisnetwork.com

Sports-ISAO’s Identity Asset Advisors has the specialized expertise and knowledge of the sports domain to advise athletes, teams, leagues, and universities as they navigate the crypto-NFT maze, helping them to:
- Stake a claim of ownership;

- Provide verifiable rights transfer of authentic NIL assets;
- Monetize their digital identity and personal brand through tokens;
