Commercial gaming is a different industry than it was ten or even five years ago. To stay plugged in, our attorneys monitor national and international gaming developments and maintain relationships with critical industry stakeholders.
We work with casinos, gaming manufacturers, distributors, and vendors. Our gaming lawyers also represent industry officials and non-gaming clients affiliated with the sector, such as financial institutions. The result: commercially sound legal advice and compliance services tailored to the commercial gaming industry.
Our Regulated Commercial Gaming Practice involves representing clients in various licensing, regulatory, and business matters in numerous Tribal, state, and international jurisdictions. Our gaming lawyers interact with regulatory officials on behalf of companies and individuals and frequently appear before regulators, including but not limited to the Arizona Department of Gaming, California Bureau of Gambling Control and California Gambling Control Commission, Colorado Division of Gaming, Massachusetts Gaming Commission, and Nevada Gaming Control Board and Nevada Gaming Commission.
Licensing, Permitting, and Approvals
We regularly work with governmental agencies to help commercial gaming clients appropriately structure their operations and obtain the necessary permits, licenses, and approvals. The goal is to help you navigate these complex regulatory frameworks as efficiently as possible.
Regulatory Compliance
Our team assists with legislative and regulatory monitoring, compliance efforts, gaming legislation, and regulatory drafting. In addition to helping companies comply with regulatory requirements, we conduct risk analyses, prepare compliance plans, and frequently assist in implementing those plans. We also represent clients in regulatory enforcement proceedings and appeals.
Internet Casinos and Poker
Our firm played a significant role in legalizing Internet poker in Nevada. Now, our gaming lawyers continue to advocate for favorable modifications to existing regulations, shape gaming regulations outside of Nevada, and expand the Internet gaming industry globally. We use our experience to help clients navigate regulatory pitfalls and enter and compete in the online gaming industry. Our clients include casinos, gaming manufacturers and distributors, marketing affiliates, and service providers.
Sports Betting
Our team has a physical presence in numerous states that have legalized sports wagering, including Nevada, which is the first state to do so. We represented sports betting operators under the strict confines of PASPA and have helped operators grow their businesses throughout the U.S. following its repeal in 2018. In addition to sports book operators, we represent sports teams and leagues, software providers, marketing affiliates, and service providers. Typically, these matters involve advising on state and federal sports betting regulations and providing step-by-step guidance through registration and licensing processes.
Gaming-Related Counsel to Non-Gaming Companies
In our practice, we represent numerous non-gaming companies affiliated with the industry. Our team helps these clients assess how gambling laws impact them, structure business deals to minimize risk, identify potential licensing requirements, and maintain compliance with gaming regulations.
