MR. LEIGH AUGUSTINE gained his experience and knowledge of managing athletes and entertainers by working with Universal Concert Company (currently House of Blues Concerts), and at the law firm Coombe & Overhardt, a Denver law firm that represented nearly two dozen NHL players.  His professional licensing includes the Colorado Bar Exam, as well as being certified as a Regional Player Representative for the Professional Lacrosse Player's Association.  Shortly after law school, Mr. Augustine went on to become the Vice President and General Counsel of Proxy Partners, LLC, the Denver-based marketing agency specializing in Gen-Y corporate consulting, event production, and action sports athlete representation.  In the beginning of 2001, he opened his own law firm, and Proxy Partners became his first client. From there, his client roster added several of the nation's most well-known athletes, artists, and entertainers.  In the fall of 2001 Mr. Augustine started lecturing for the Sports Law class at the University of Denver's College of Law, and in 2005 he became an adjunct professor. Additionally, he coached lacrosse at Cherry Creek High School from 1997 through 2002.
