Betting and Gaming
The betting and gaming business thrives at the highly regulated intersection of law and international commerce.
Traditional bricks-and-mortar gaming is evolving in response to changing economic realities, as new jurisdictions open their doors and as traditional markets come under pressure. Online gaming, with its inherently international reach, presents unique legal challenges as jurisdictions continually reevaluate whether and how to permit and regulate online wagering.

We facilitate interaction with, and regularly appear before, licensing commissions in a variety of jurisdictions.
