They must stay updated on evolving statutes, especially in states with active gambling commissions. Expertise in multi-jurisdictional compliance ensures clients avoid legal pitfalls while operating across various markets.
Unlike general litigation, Gaming Associate Attorneys tackle specialized disputes involving consumer class actions and gambling loss recovery. Their work entails drafting motions tailored to gaming regulations and collaborating on cases with state attorney generals, blending litigation skills with niche industry knowledge.

Yes, while the role offers a competitive base salary ranging from $225,000 to $325,000, Philadelphia’s cost of living and local market rates can affect compensation. Generally, salaries here are slightly more moderate than in major metropolitan areas like New York but remain lucrative within the gaming law niche.

Many believe Gaming Attorneys only handle casino-related matters; however, the role extends to diverse litigation such as mass arbitrations and prediction market disputes. It also demands a blend of regulatory and technology law expertise, making it far broader and more dynamic than commonly assumed.
The hybrid setup balances in-office and remote work, allowing Gaming Associate Attorneys to maintain flexibility while fostering team synergy. This model supports productive case strategy sessions and client interactions, aligning with the firm’s commitment to a collegial and responsive culture.
