Max Eppel
Players’ Agent

Max qualified as a lawyer in England in 2002 and he quickly developed a reputation as an exciting advocate, a skilled negotiator and a tough opponent to come up against.  Having honed these skills in more than 1,000 trials and other cases over 4 years in private practice at the Bar Max decided that the time was right to give something back to the sport he loves so much and became a Players’ Agent.

As well as his legal background Max brings considerable energy, dynamism and enthusiasm to the company. He is also exceptionally well-connected in the UK, Europe and beyond which of course greatly assists in the placement of players outside of the USA.

MESA was founded by Max as a way to bring a fresh approach to soccer representation.
