Conor is a California State Bar licensed attorney. He attended UCLA Law School, and while there, studied sports law and worked for the UCLA Athletics Compliance Department. He has three younger siblings (including Maggie) who are former NCAA student-athletes. Throughout their times at school, they came to him with NCAA-related questions that they didn’t feel comfortable bringing to their coaches or compliance departments. Conor wants to use his experience and training to bring you the same personalized, confidential advice that he gave them. In addition to CACE, Conor also runs his own law office out of Napa, California.
