  • Overview

Machia Mullens

Machia Mullens is a law clerk at The Harris Law Firm, where she assists in the development of the firm’s Sports and Entertainment practice. Machia is a Candidate for her JD, planning to sit for the bar exam in July of 2026. Upon graduating from the University of Colorado Law School in May, she will join the firm full-time, working with high school and collegiate athletes on NCAA eligibility, NIL opportunities, and the legal and compliance issues that shape their athletic careers.

Originally from Liberal, Kansas, Machia grew up in highly competitive team environments that emphasized discipline, accountability, and self-advocacy, values that continue to guide her legal work today. While competing as a Division I women’s basketball student-athlete at the University of Missouri–Kansas City, she served as the Summit League Conference Representative on the NCAA Division I Student-Athlete Advisory Committee. In that role, she saw firsthand how policy and regulatory decisions directly impact athletes’ opportunities and futures, sparking her interest in law and advocacy.

Machia graduated from Liberal High School in 2020 and earned her undergraduate degree from UMKC in 2023, completing an accelerated pre-law track that allowed her to begin law school a year early. She is currently a third-year law student at the University of Colorado Law School, where her coursework and professional experience have focused on sports law, NIL, revenue sharing, and compliance. She has worked with multiple law firms on sports-related legal matters, served as a compliance intern within CU’s Athletic Department, and participated in CU Law’s NIL Practicum. She also holds the Athlete Marketing Essentials: NIL Certification from Front Office Sports and is an approved certified NIL agent in the states of Kansas and Florida.

Known for her strong research and drafting skills, attention to detail, and clear communication style, Machia brings a thoughtful, organized, and empathetic approach to her work. She is especially committed to helping athletes understand their rights, make informed decisions, and feel confident navigating the business side of sports.

Outside of her legal work, Machia remains closely connected to the athletic community and values opportunities to mentor and support student-athletes as they prepare for success both on and off the court.

    Divorce is never easy, but Harris and Beth Wilkins made the experience much more pleasant
    “

    Divorce is never easy, but Harris and Beth Wilkins made the experience much more pleasant. I interviewed a total of 6 firms before I landed on Harris and would say that I made the right choice...without a doubt. Harris was on the case and kept me abreast every step of the way. At no point did I feel like I was being kept in the dark and it was quite the opposite as I was being informed constantly.

    Because of my experience with Harris, I am much happier and better off and now the new chapter begins! Thank You! I couldn't have gotten through this 8-month ordeal without you in my corner!
