“We are particularly proud of our efforts in correcting false or defamatory narratives in the media about Ferdinand’s past Anti-Doping Rule Violation, in the high-level lobbying which led to Ferdinand’s admission into the Olympics team, in setting up his initial communications and PR channels, in mediating and negotiating for fair and meaningful sponsorship opportunities, for brain-storming, creating and setting up his new corporate entity, and for structuring his Intellectual Property in his new brand which we hope will provide him and his family consistent and sustainable income beyond his athletic career.”
“Our firm understood our assignment, and carried it through with the honor and respect deserving of any of our great athletes. However, we also understand when it’s time to leave in order to allow our former client the space to grow and take charge of his own destiny.”
“We continue to celebrate Ferdinand’s progress and successes and will always take pride in the strides he makes for himself and for the larger Kenyan sprints community.”
