Fragomen is a sponsor of the 7th annual Tulane Professional Basketball Negotiation Competition taking place February 22 - 23. Fragomen Partner Dan Schwarz and Associate Jake Paul Minster are poised to discuss immigration impacts and considerations as they pertain to professional basketball during the 7th Annual Tulane Professional Basketball Negotiation Competition.
Given the sport's expanding international presence, Dan and Jake will spearhead a panel covering the latest trends and global immigration issues impacting athletes, teams, leagues, and nations. Their discourse will encompass pertinent examples and real-life case studies that illuminate the complexities and innovative solutions essential for navigating the recruitment and signing processes of international players, facilitating travel for games abroad, and overcoming formidable visa challenges. While their focus will primarily be on the United States, Dan and Jake will also delve into global dynamics, particularly in light of the approaching Olympic Games and World Cup events.
