Your Name, Your Rights,
Your Career.
The Salone Agency represents student athletes at the intersection of NIL opportunity and legal protection, so you build a brand that lasts beyond the game.
Founded by an IP litigation attorney with eight years of experience protecting rights, The Salone Agency brings a level of contract literacy and brand strategy to athlete representation that most agencies simply don't have.
Playing well is only part of the equation.
Your performance gets you to the table. What happens at the table — the contracts you sign, the deals you protect, the brand you build — determines what you walk away with. The Salone Agency exists to make sure you walk away with everything you've earned.
○ Contract Literacy
We read what others skim. Every clause, every term, explained in plain language before you sign anything.
○ IP-First Representation
Your name, image, and likeness are intellectual property. We protect them like it.
○ Built for DFW
Rooted in the Dallas-Fort Worth sports community, serving athletes and families across the Metroplex.
We Built this Agency to Close a Gap
Most NIL representation is driven by marketing instincts. Ours is driven by law. The Salone Agency was founded on the belief that athletes deserve someone in their corner who understands not just the deal — but the rights underneath it.
Ariane Salone, Founder
Ariane Salone is an intellectual property litigation attorney with eight years of experience protecting patents, copyrights, and trade secrets for clients across the technology and high-tech industries. She has taught CopyrightX at Harvard and spent her career at the intersection of rights, contracts, and enforcement.
The Salone Agency is the natural extension of that work. NIL is, at its core, a licensing question — who controls your name, your image, your likeness, and on what terms. Ariane brings a litigation attorney's precision to every contract review, every brand partnership, and every conversation with an athlete or their family.
Mission
The Salone Standard
We believe long-term success in athletics requires four things: the ability to understand what you sign, a foundation of financial literacy, a commitment to full-body and mental wellness, and a brand built on licensing excellence — not just exposure.
That's what we call the Salone Standard. And it's the framework behind everything we do.
