About

Provided by Taft Stettinius & Hollister LLP

The attorneys in Taft’s Gaming group have substantial experience delivering innovative, comprehensive legal services to a wide range of clients involved in all aspects of the gaming industry worldwide. As state and local governments become increasingly dependent on gaming ventures as a source of revenue and jobs, the number of gaming-related opportunities for our clients continues to multiply.

By serving as legal counsel to some of the largest gaming interests in the world, our attorneys bring real world, in-depth understanding of the operational side of the gaming industry. We also have significant financial structuring experience to aid gaming transactions by representing investors, private equity sources, real estate investment trusts and lenders involved in gaming projects.

All aspects of gaming-related transactions have been handled by our gaming attorneys, including facilities drafting of gaming laws and regulations; structuring, negotiating and documenting facility acquisitions and dispositions, joint ventures, leases, and related transactions; guiding gaming interest owners, lenders and executives through licensing and regulatory processes; navigating regulatory minefields with respect to new gaming technologies (including mobile and internet-based gaming opportunities); and representing pari-mutuel, off-track betting and “racino” gaming operations.
