About Nina Chen
Nina Chen drafted the first league-mandated diversity covenant embedded in an NBA expansion agreement, requiring ownership groups to allocate 15% of equity to certified minority-led investment vehicles, and later defended it before the DOJ’s Antitrust Division when challenged as a restraint on trade. She doesn’t treat franchise sales as pure M&A; she maps each transaction against evolving state-level sports betting regulations, stadium financing cliffs, and the IRS’s updated guidance on athlete-ownership pass-through entities. Her memos include annotated timelines showing how a single clause in a player option agreement can trigger cascading effects on luxury tax calculations, broadcast revenue sharing tiers, and even arena naming rights renewal triggers. Nina reads league constitutions like constitutional law scholars read the Federalist Papers, not for precedent alone, but for latent structural tensions between collective bargaining obligations and individual team autonomy. She’s advised three teams through relocation petitions under the revised NFL Relocation Policy, always anchoring arguments in municipal bond covenants rather than fan sentiment.
