Gardner B. Goodwyn
Gardner Bryce Goodwyn is an associate in the Greenville, South Carolina, office of Jackson Lewis P.C.
Growing up around sports and playing collegiate soccer, Bryce has always felt a close connection to an industry that is known for bringing people and communities together around a common passion and interest. This connection compelled Bryce to pursue experience in the sports law space while in law school. During this time, Bryce gained a critical understanding of the requirements and needs of a professional sports organization by working for a Major League Soccer club. Additionally, Bryce has developed a passion for the intersection of labor and employment law and the sports industry, as he has published legal scholarship in a nationally renowned sports law periodical that explores this intersection.
Bryce brings a unique understanding of labor and employment issues impacting athletes, sports organizations, and governing bodies across both collegiate and professional sectors. He will continue to leverage his strong ties to the sports industry as a member of our Entertainment, Media, and Professional Sports and Education and Collegiate Athletics industry teams.
