Law Offices of Marc Edelman
Marc Edelman is an attorney, author, business consultant, and professor, with an expertise in the fields of sports business and law. Marc began his professional career with the Major Indoor Soccer League, where he was responsible for soliciting new investors, rewriting the league rule book, and enforcing the league's corporate bylaws.
After attending law school, Marc joined the New York office of Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher and Flom LLP, where Marc practiced antitrust law. In May 2006, Marc joined the commercial litigation group of Dewey & LeBoeuf, where his focus shifted to entertainment and sports. Mr. Edelman just recently left Dewey & LeBoeuf for his own private practice.
Currently, Marc is on the faculty at New York Law School, Seton Hall University, and Manhattanville College. As a professor, Marc regularly earns highest honors for his teaching in the areas of sports law, business law, sports economics, and business ethics. Marc's research involves the cross-section between sports league self-governance and federal government oversight. In this capacity, Marc is often cited about how antitrust law’s single-entity defense—as well as its non-statutory labor exemption—should apply to sports.
Outside of the classroom, Marc is a regular columnist at Above the Law and a frequent guest columnist at Sports Business Journal. Marc is founder of the website www.SportsJudge.com, consultant to various sports businesses, and involved with the volunteer organization New York Cares.
Marc earned his undergraduate degree in economics from the Wharton School and his advanced degrees in both law and sports management from the University of Michigan. He is a life-long New York Mets fan, and an enthusiast of 80s music and the television show Seinfeld.
