Daniel B. Fitzgerald Honored for Making a Difference in 2011
Business Law News
The law firm of Brody Wilkinson PC is pleased to announce that Daniel B. Fitzgerald was recognized in 2011 by the Connecticut Law Tribune in its annual “Dozen Who Made A Difference” news feature for his work in the area of Sports Law. “Dozen Who Made A Difference” profiles attorneys each year who had an impact in the legal community — and on the state’s landscape in general.
In an article entitled, “Pitching Advice to Athletes and Coaches,” Connecticut Law Tribune reporter Christian Nolan identifies Mr. Fitzgerald as “a go-to guy” in the world of college sports recruiting and contracts at a time when many schools are publicly dealing with scandals and disputes related to their sports programs. In addition to this accolade, he was also recently selected for the second time as a “Connecticut Rising Star” in 2011-2012 by Super Lawyers.
“This is a wonderful acknowledgment of Dan’s talents and energy particularly when you consider that only 12 attorneys in the entire State were recognized for their individual efforts,” said Peter T. Mott, a senior Brody Wilkinson principal.
Mr. Fitzgerald provides counsel to clients, including athletes, coaches and organizations concerning legal issues that arise in amateur, collegiate and professional athletics. He is the publisher of the blog Connecticut Sports Law (http://www.ctsportslaw.com) and has authored several articles that have been featured in leading sports law publications. Mr. Fitzgerald is also an adjunct professor at Quinnipiac University School of Law, where he teaches sports law.
