You’re performing at the highest level. We have the expertise to match.
The sports industry is fast paced, with unique risks. Cancellations can dig into annual revenue. Reputational risks are pervasive, and the risks of losing talent – whether to an accident or talent poaching – can have a lasting impact. In an industry built on people, the right partnerships mean everything, and a generalist broker isn’t good enough.
NFP brings together high-profile experience and focused expertise to deliver specialized protection programs for sports organizations, athletes and executives. We are ideally positioned to provide the world’s most successful organizations and individuals in sports with customized solutions and programs that address their unique goals and challenges.
Complementing our exclusive sports focus is a comprehensive understanding of complex risks and how to manage them effectively and efficiently. From player contracts to the construction of a new arena, we excel at asking the right questions, identifying goals and challenges, and helping our clients cover exposures so they can stay focused on what they do best.
