Arent Fox’s Rich Brand and Charlyn Ho Author Article on the Ups and Downs of Fantex IPO

Arent Fox Sports partner Rich Brand and Corporate & Securities associate Charlyn Ho wrote an article published in Law360 that outlines the legal issues surrounding Fantex Inc., a company that allows investors to buy and sell interests in professional athletes.
