Company History

Sterling Sports Management, LLC (“Sterling Sports”) had its genesis as the natural outgrowth of Campbell, Hornbeck, Chilcoat & Veatch LLC, an exceptional, highly regarded Columbus, Ohio law firm. Building on its experience as a premier business law practice, the law firm began representing many athletes in several different sports. The significant increase in the number of the law firm’s sports clients over the last several years provided the opportunity to establish a separate sports agency, while maintaining the advantages of affiliation with a successful law firm. The association with Campbell, Hornbeck, Chilcoat & Veatch LLC permits Sterling Sports to provide for its clients legal services and resources in areas such as corporation law, tax law, estate planning, litigation and real estate through the law firm. There is no question that many of the needs and demands of today’s athletes are best served by highly qualified legal professionals who can assist in guiding the athlete through the many opportunities and pitfalls he or she will face.

Sterling Sports is directed by Jeff Chilcoat, President of Sterling Sports and a Member of Campbell Hornbeck Chilcoat & Veatch LLC. Jeff has represented athletes for a number of years in player contract negotiations, endorsement agreements, media arrangements, marketing, public relations, and tax planning. The experience of Jeff and the other professionals, coupled with a high level of personal service, has made Sterling Sports a leader in the sports agency field. Loyalty, honesty, dedication and the highest level of integrity are the hallmarks of Sterling Sports.Each year, Sterling selectively represents only a few new clients. By limiting the number of new clients, Sterling Sports is able to provide a consistently high level of attention to each of its client athlete
