History
Park Lane was formed in 2005 by former NFL lineman Andrew Kline. Mr. Kline was drafted by the St. Louis Rams in 2000 but retired from the NFL in 2003 due to concussion-related injuries. After rehabilitating his injuries, Kline made several successful real estate investments and shortly thereafter was part of a group that attempted to purchase an NHL franchise. After that transaction, Kline realized that there was an unfilled niche in the financial industry for specialized sports-related financial services. He formed Park Lane to provide these services along with relevant sports experience. Since its inception, Park Lane has expanded its range of services far beyond acquisitions and sales of franchises and now also advises all types of sports-related businesses with a broad range of financial services.
