In a recent Law360 article, Secretariat Director Tiffany Cruz Oates and Associate Director Sonia Chase share how Secretariat’s depth of expertise, multidisciplinary approach, and global reach perfectly align to meet the evolving needs of today’s complex sports environment, offering strategic perspectives and bold solutions to clients, spectators, and investors alike during this era of transformation.

In the interview, Sonia said that her new role at Secretariat will allow her to leverage her perspective as a professional athlete, executive and entrepreneur.

“[Secretariat] is exactly what the sports industry needs right now, and no other firm combines this depth of expertise with such strong sports industry leadership,” Chase shared in the article.

For Tiffany, moving to Secretariat has been a way to explore how public-private sports partnerships impact communities, and help bring a diverse perspective of stakeholders to a consensus on how to best conduct projects.
