Hello,

"I am curious what positions a lawyer may find in the endurance sports / triathlon community. I am assuming there is a lot of IP work surrounding products marketing but what else is out there?

"

Well after 25 years racing triathlons and 15 practicing law I've handled 2 cases for penniless pros needing pro bono legal representation to collect their prize money/enforce contracts with 'sponsors' who decided not to pay and race directors who promised to reimburse travel fees but didn't; a couple of car v. bike accidents (triathletes are horrible PI clients - they underplay their injuries to doctors, overplay them to everybody else, and can't understand why juries aren't sympathetic that but for their injuries they might have run a 10 hour IM instead of and 11 hour IM.); I know of a framebuilder who needs to prosecute a patent infringment case - (framebuilder=no money).

In sum, the best "positions a lawyer may find in the triathlon community" are the aero-position and as a participant. Make your hobby your job and you won't like either.

60%+ divorce rate for Ironman triathletes. Why not start a divorce and match dating firm for triathlete divorcees?

If you bring me on as a consultant, you can use the name I came up with for the firm: TRI Again, LLC
