Our Gambling, Sports Betting, and Casinos group is helping clients rise to new challenges and capitalize on prospects presented by this dynamic and growing industry.

Technology has created opportunity for new ventures, investments, and innovations, especially in the gaming industry, where regulations are constantly morphing to accommodate discovered variables. Our firm is practiced, having advised on large scale, high-profile mandates for major domestic and international industry players.

Our firm has made significant impact in both the private and public sectors, gained in periods of rapid growth and modernization, including a nuanced and practical understanding of operational and licensing requirements, public policy implications unique to the industry, and financing needs.

Our unique value for clients includes:

  • Comprehensive experience: We have significant experience advising on complex, transformative projects for some of Canada’s and the world’s leading gaming and licensing organizations, including crown corporations and multi-national gaming operators.
  • Niche expertise & full-service expertise: We have a range of expertise advising on industry-specific issues (regulatory compliance, project development and financing, anti-money laundering (AML), responsible gaming) to offering complete legal solutions (corporate/commercial, litigation, labour relations, risk management, procurement, taxation, advertising, technology, privacy, and cyber-security practices) for both land-based and on-line industry stakeholders.
  • National platform: From the Pacific to Atlantic coasts, we have been engaged in mandates affecting every province and territory in Canada.
