About Mr. John M.
Mr. John M. Miller built a career that moves between boardrooms, racetracks and the courtroom. He studied political science at the University of Michigan and completed his undergraduate degree in 1992. He then enrolled at Marquette University Law School and earned his J.D. in 1995.
He began work in the business side of sports and media soon after law school. In 1995 he joined IMG as director of operations, overseeing day-to-day logistics and project workflows. Two years later he moved into motorsports, serving as vice president of business development at Roush Racing. That role involved partnerships, sponsorships and commercial strategy during a period when motorsports organizations were expanding their corporate relationships.
Miller shifted from corporate roles to entrepreneurship in 2007 when he founded Xceed Sports Marketing. As CEO and founder he led the company through client acquisition, brand partnerships and campaign execution. The marketing venture amplified his familiarity with contracts, licensing and the commercial side of sports, areas that later informed his transition into law practice.
His legal career includes time in a large firm environment. In 2011 he joined Alston & Bird LLP, where he practiced as an attorney and worked on matters that required an understanding of business operations and commercial agreements. In 2014 he opened his own practice, John Miller Law Office, PLLC, returning to a smaller, client-facing setting where he manages a varied caseload.
Miller is licensed to practice in Wisconsin and North Carolina. His background combines operational leadership, sales and marketing experience, and legal training. That combination gives him a practical perspective on transactions and disputes that arise in commercial and sports-related contexts. Colleagues and clients have noted his ability to translate business issues into legal strategies and to explain complex points in plain terms.
Outside of work he has kept ties to the sports industry through consulting and advisory roles tied to sponsorship and event operations. He has spent much of his career at the intersection of commerce and competition, where contracts and relationships matter as much as performance.
He currently practices at John Miller Law Office, PLLC, handling business and sports-related legal matters.
