ARM has established a reputation of consistently negotiating record-breaking compensation agreements for its clients. That reputation has been earned as a result of careful preparation and ongoing research of recent trends in contracts and in the collective bargaining agreements that govern professional sports leagues. ARM has cultivated a wide network of industry contacts among the various players' associations, team front offices, and coaching staffs. These contacts provide an invaluable understanding of the factors that influence a particular team's negotiating strategy. Armed with knowledge of a particular team's profit and loss position, the team owner's personal financial history, and the team's philosophy with regard to bonuses, incentives, and pay scale, ARM can negotiate from a position of strength and can maximize a client's ability to obtain a favorable contract.
