About Jonathan Osoja
Jonathan Osoja Mputu built his path through two very different classrooms. He earned a Bachelor of Arts in political science and government at Colgate University. He followed that with a Juris Doctor from Loyola Law School, Los Angeles, where he pursued an entertainment law concentration and a course of study in sports law.
His early professional profile took shape inside the business side of talent representation. In 2021 he worked as a business affairs executive in sports talent and brand partnerships at WME | IMG. That role placed him at the intersection of athlete management, corporate sponsorships, and entertainment deals. The company is now part of the Endeavor family, where he has maintained professional ties.
In 2022 he moved between private practice and public-facing roles. He operated as an NBA player marketing lawyer and entertainment executive in private practice, while also serving as an adjunct professor at Thomas Jefferson School of Law. In the same year he delivered public talks and taught through TMFE Group, LLC, listing his work there as a professional speaker and professor. Those entries reflect a mix of deal work, teaching, and public engagement rather than a single, steady track.
Certification and credentialing have been part of that mixed portfolio. He is an NBPA Certified NBA Player Agent, credentialed by the National Basketball Players Association. That certification formalizes work representing basketball players in marketing and endorsement arenas and links his legal training to sports representation.
Colleagues and industry listings associate him with Endeavor (WME-IMG) offices. His experience spans talent representation, brand partnerships, and the legal issues that arise when entertainment businesses and professional athletes intersect. While he has taught and spoken in academic and corporate settings, his practice work has included contract negotiation, marketing arrangements, and advisory roles tied to athlete careers.
The combination of law school coursework in entertainment and sports, time inside a major talent agency, and NBPA certification shapes a profile built around deal-making for athletes and entertainers. He has moved between corporate, academic, and private-practice roles over a short period, bringing those perspectives into client work. He currently practices at Endeavor (WME-IMG), and his practice centers on athlete representation, brand partnerships, and entertainment law matters.
