Snell & Wilmer LLP

Members of the casino and gaming industry regularly face legal challenges and opportunities, including navigating the regulatory and permitting process; developing new projects; negotiating complex transactions; navigating global supply chain compliance; addressing labor and employment concerns; protecting, commercially exploiting, enforcing and defending intellectual property; managing tax and real estate issues; and handling potential litigation or disputes with affiliated businesses or patrons. Gaming businesses need counsel who can react quickly, economically, and effectively to address virtually any legal situation that arises.

Snell & Wilmer's gaming law services include representation on substantive legal and regulatory gaming issues on a national basis. Our gaming lawyer team understands how to help clients navigate the complex regulatory and legal environments that confront businesses in the gaming industry.

Snell & Wilmer's gaming attorneys have represented casinos and gaming organizations, resorts and recreational businesses, gaming vendors, and others doing business on Native American lands, development companies, management firms, and financers.

Our clients benefit from our full-service approach and industry experience. Whether we are involved in the development, purchase, sale, tax or management of gaming operations, systems or services, our casino and gaming attorneys understand the legal issues that arise and guide our clients to address them proactively and strategically.

Our gaming lawyer team has experience with a broad range of business and legal concerns that affect the gaming industry. We have assisted gaming clients with various legal issues in the areas of general licensing and regulation, Native American law, online gaming, intellectual property, privacy, and data protection, lobbying and legislative affairs, real estate and finance, construction, litigation, immigration, labor and employment, and government and internal investigations.
