Since
2001, minors employed in sports and entertainment have gained a unique
advantage over any other employed minors. That is, that the money they
earn is theirs, and their parents have fiduciary duties to them that do not
exist for other minors. In addition, the employers of minors have unique
obligations to the minors, including deposits into Coogan accounts, and unique
opportunities to avoid the minor's ability to disaffirm their contracts.
This
workshop will explore the rights of children in the business and protecting those
rights for the child's benefit: the contractual issues of which those
doing business with minors need to be aware; what statutory protections are
available for the adults in the transactions; what can be done if your
contract is not statutorily protected will be explored; which court will hear these cases;
and will a guardianship be required to protect the minors estate. Finally,
Mr. Sires will explore how to deal with the conflicts of interest inherent in
representing and advising minors, their families, and those dealing with them,
i.e. who do the lawyers represent?
