David Forman MIAMI – May 9, 2011 – The Lingerie Football League (LFL) has announced that it has engaged Miami attorney David Forman to serve as its lead legal council. Forman formerly worked with the LFL as a legal consultant and will continue to represent the league under his firm David Forman, Esq., Attorneys at Law.
As lead legal council, Forman will work closely with the owner of the league in negotiating business options, drafting contracts and continuing to work on LFL television appearances.
“The LFL is a unique sports league and one that I am honored to represent as lead legal council,” said Forman. “The league’s growth has been incredible and I can honestly say that I look forward to assisting the LFL in its continued evolution. We have already accumulated a loyal fan base and expect that number to escalate, especially with the imminent NFL lock out.”
“David has been an invaluable counsel to our executive decision making process within the league. With early success comes more complex business models and potential pitfalls. It is comforting to know that we have someone savvy like David to guide us through those waters. When someone believes in our vision and places our business ahead of their own personal interests, you know you have someone rather unique and special,” said Mitchell S. Mortaza, Founder & Chairman, Lingerie Football League, LLC
The LFL is a nationwide women’s 7-on-7 tackle football league with 10 franchise teams. As a result of LFL’s growing fan base, MTV2 began airing condensed versions of the games during the 2010/2011 season in a series entitled LFL Presents: Friday Night Football. The show drew exceptionally high ratings and will return for the 2011/2012 season live and in full-length form for the first time, a deal which Forman helped negotiate.
In addition to working with the LFL, Forman advises individuals in their careers in professional sports and entertainment. He acts as a guardian for his clients in overseeing their current career, protecting them through legal representation, as well as advising them in developing a career with longevity. In addition to sports business, Forman’s range of clients also includes real estate investors and small businesses.
