In this episode we sit down with employment attorney, Susie Cirilli. Susie went to school at the University of Vermont where she got her Bachelor’s degree in Secondary Education and Teaching and played soccer for 4 years, captaining the team her Junior and senior year! She then attended Catholic University for Law, became an attorney, and is admitted in PA, NJ, NY, and VT. She litigates cases involving hostile work environments, discrimination based on sex, sexual orientation, race and disability. She assesses issues surrounding pregnancy, sexual orientation discrimination and same sex harassment. 

We dive into topics such as the important differences between agents and lawyers, and whether agents have a fiduciary duty. We discuss the role of law in unions and CBA's and the recent developments in the NWSL. We also pose some fun questions on whether athletes should be paid overtime, if there should be a draft in US soccer, and much more. Susie is incredibly smart, energetic, and provided us with incredible insight and details that we would normally never think of as professionals in the sport.

We can't wait for you to tune in.
