About
PAES
Discover a world of possibilities. At PAES, we believe that true representation starts with recognizing the person behind the performance.
As a boutique management firm, we're driven by the conviction that long-term success is built on more than deals and accolades — it's built on care, trust, and holistic support. While others may focus solely on outcomes, we prioritize the well-being of our clients, knowing that a grounded and supported individual is the foundation of a lasting career.
Founded by a former actor, producer, and semi-professional athlete with legal expertise in entertainment and sports law, we offer thoughtful, strategic guidance tailored to the unique needs of each artist and athlete. From contract negotiations and brand building to NIL strategy and IP protection in the age of AI, we help our clients navigate today's complex creative and commercial landscapes with confidence.
Women's sport holds a special place in our mission. Female athletes are among the most talented, driven, and underserved individuals in the sports industry. The commercial opportunity is real, the momentum is building, and we are committed to ensuring the women we represent are protected, compensated fairly, and positioned for success — both during their careers and long after.
Meet the TeamOur Values
People over performance
We see the whole person. Mental health, sustainability, and genuine wellbeing are non-negotiable parts of how we work — for every client, regardless of sport or discipline.
Radical transparency
We're honest, even when it's difficult. Our clients deserve clear, unfiltered guidance — not just what they want to hear.
Long-game thinking
We build careers that last. Strategy, protection, and adaptability in the face of a rapidly evolving creative and sports economy.
BIPOC & women first
We actively champion underrepresented talent — BIPOC individuals and women in sport — because access to elite representation should never be limited by background or gender.
Closing the gap
Women in sport face a persistent pay and opportunity gap. We negotiate hard, advocate loudly, and work to ensure our female clients are valued as the elite performers they are.
Ahead of the curve
From AI-generated likenesses to evolving NIL legislation, we stay at the forefront so our clients are protected before problems arise — not after.
Why Women's Sport Matters to Us
"The women's sports industry is projected to surpass $1 billion in revenue. The athletes driving that growth deserve management that fights for them with the same urgency and expertise as any other elite performer."
