Given our depth of experience and client successes, the Gaming group and our lawyers have been recognized nationally by Chambers USA for Gaming and Licensing Law since 2020. We also acquired significant expertise in the financial structuring of gaming transactions by representing investors, including private equity sources, real estate investment trusts, and lenders to gaming projects. In addition to working on the government side of gaming, our lawyers gained an in-depth understanding of the operational side of the gaming business by serving as counsel to some of the largest casino gaming companies in the world. In a heavily regulated industry like casino and route-based gaming, our attorneys knew early on that the best way to learn the industry was by starting from the inside - by working as gaming counsel with state governments and their regulatory authorities to draft and advise on gaming legislation, rules, and regulations. As state and local governments have become increasingly dependent on gaming ventures as a source of revenue and jobs, the number of gaming-related opportunities for our clients has proliferated. Taft Gaming attorneys have substantial experience delivering innovative, comprehensive legal services to a wide range of clients involved in all aspects of the casino and route-based gaming industry throughout North America and the world.
