  • Legal aspects of all forms of gaming, including casino games, poker, lotteries, sports betting, horse racing, daily fantasy sports, and social gaming

  • Gaming license requirements within and across jurisdictions—including the critically important issue of cross-border regulation within the European Community
  • Legal aspects of credit. collection of debts, and online payment processing
  • Litigation affecting casino operations—including non-gaming legal issues (e.g. employment law, banking regulations, and even personal injury law) as applied to casinos
  • Economic impacts of gaming issues and growth, including market analysis
  • Regulatory and licensing and tax structures
  • Intellectual property of casinos, gaming equipment manufacturers, and online gaming websites
