Lewis Roca draws on a deep knowledge of the complex regulatory framework governing the gaming industry to develop comprehensive strategies that advance our clients’ business goals. Our lawyers help clients leverage new opportunities across a wide variety of commercial gaming jurisdictions, both U.S.-based and international. Casino operators, Indian gaming groups, equipment suppliers, investors, investment banks, and other companies doing business in the industry value our experience dealing with all aspects of gaming, from operations and technology to regulations and licensing at the state and federal level.
Moreover, our gaming lawyers have unique experience and knowledge that sets us apart from our competitors in the interactive gaming space and help clients achieve their business goals. Our team has been on the forefront of this sector since the beginning when users first started challenging friends on the Internet in friendly competitions to the latest developments in eSports, Daily Fantasy, and prizeless social gaming.
Lewis Roca also provides gaming-related counsel to non-gaming companies. For example, we represent national advertising companies, payment processors, geo-location and patron identification providers, service providers, and social media platforms as they look to partner with, market, and provide services to gaming companies.
