About Timothy Paul
Timothy Paul Dawson builds his practice at the intersection of courtroom work and representation for professional athletes. He is a trial lawyer who also holds licenses as a sports agent in Pennsylvania, New York and West Virginia. He is also a certified NFL agent and runs the Law Office of Timothy Paul Dawson.
Dawson’s career combines litigation and client representation. He has litigated matters in state courts as a trial lawyer while advising athletes on contract negotiations, employment disputes and agent certification issues. The dual role gives him a regular presence on both the courthouse calendar and in negotiation rooms. He handles pre-litigation strategy and trial advocacy, shifting between drafts of pleadings and the detailed work of assembling athlete files.
His sports-agent work involves contract negotiations, endorsement talks and the regulatory processes that govern athlete representation. As a certified NFL agent, Dawson works on player contracts and related matters governed by league rules. He holds agent licenses in multiple states, which allows him to represent clients whose careers move across state lines. That practical reach complements his litigation practice when disputes escalate.
Colleagues describe him as methodical in court and exacting in contract language. Clients who need a lawyer capable of moving from business deals to litigation frequently turn to him because he maintains both licenses and courtroom experience. He prepares for hearings and trials with the same attention he brings to negotiating contract terms.
Dawson’s office handles a mix of matters: contested employment claims, contract disputes, agent compliance matters and negotiations for athlete compensation and endorsements. He also counsels clients on regulatory compliance tied to sports representation. This work requires keeping current on state licensing rules and professional-league regulations. He manages those obligations alongside case work, balancing courtroom deadlines with transactional deadlines.
Outside litigation, his practice involves drafting and reviewing player contracts, structuring endorsement agreements and advising on the practical implications of league policies. He routinely communicates with teams, agents and league offices as part of deal work and dispute resolution. Courtroom appearances, mediation sessions and contract closings are all regular parts of his schedule.
He currently practices at the Law Office of Timothy Paul Dawson, representing athletes and other clients in litigation, contract negotiation and agent-related matters.
