Machia Mullens

Machia Mullens is a NIL agent and law clerk at The Harris Law Firm, where she assists in the development of the firm’s Sports and Entertainment practice. Machia earned her Juris Doctor from the University of Colorado Law School in May 2026 and has since joined the firm full-time. She works 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 contributed to student-athlete discussions and policy considerations surrounding the development of the NCAA’s initial name, image, and likeness framework that took effect in 2021, 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 earned her Juris Doctor from the University of Colorado Law School in May 2026, where her coursework and professional experiences focused on sports law, NIL, revenue sharing, compliance, and other legal issues affecting athletes and the evolving landscape of collegiate athletics. Machia also holds the Athlete Marketing Essentials: NIL Certification from Front Office Sports and is a certified NIL agent in both Kansas and Florida.

Known for her strong research and drafting skills, attention to detail, and clear communication style, Machia brings a thoughtful, organized, and practical 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.

    The best legal team around

    Steve and Victoria are by far the best legal team around. They helped me with two major business-related tax issues over the last decade and literally saved me over $100k. Their knowledge of tax law is impressive as they had to educate the latest revenue officer assigned to my case on a handful of matters.

    Again, they are the best!!

    Ally was just wonderful

    My daughter Kelly Huyck contacted the Harris Law firm to get my last will, testament, and living will ready.
