KMG has solidified itself in the sports marketplace as one of the premier contract negotiating firms.  Collectively negotiating and having under contract over $225 million in client revenue during the last 5 years.  Our management team uses extensive preparation, research, and planning to generate maximum compensation for our clients.  We strive to establish new standards in the industry.

Richard L. Katz has negotiated professional playing contracts for over 30 years as a Certified Contract Advisor with the National Football League Players Association and the National Basketball Players Association.  He has negotiated NFL contracts for players at every position and with every NFL team on multiple occasions.  He has negotiated NFL first round contracts to seventh round, rookie free agents, restricted free agents, and unrestricted free agents.  He has negotiated NBA first round contracts to free agent contracts and negotiated contracts for basketball players at every position.

We believe negotiation is not based solely on numbers set by previous teams and players.  There is an intrinsic value to each individual athlete that must be determined.  Our experience and skill allow us to calculate and capitalize on that value.  We pride ourselves on attention to detail.  There is no substitute for preparation, research, and planning.
