U.S. Soccer Teams Shuffle Top Legal Jobs as Season Kicks Off
“Three teams in Major League Soccer are switching law office jobs with the mid-April kickoff of the top tier of the U.S. sport’s 2021 season—a start delayed a few weeks because of the coronavirus pandemic,” reports Brian Baxter in Bloomberg Law’s Business & Practice.
“D. Brock Denton, outside general counsel for FC Cincinnati, an MLS team whose owners include former gubernatorial candidate and business executive Meg Whitman, will give up his role when he starts a new job Aug. 1 with Cintas Corp., one of the largest U.S. uniform and workplace product suppliers.”
“But Denton will be in attendance Saturday for a ribbon-cutting ceremony at FC Cincinnati’s new home, the 26,000-seat TQL Stadium. He’ll also be there when his team makes its home field debut May 16 against Inter Miami CF, which is co-owned by former global soccer star David Beckham.”
