In an article published by Law360, Nelson Mullins partner Katherine Baker discussed the firm's new gaming industry group that advises gaming and gambling operators and service providers such as casinos, sports betting, fantasy sports, and iGaming businesses and financial services companies or other vendors that partner with operators.

"Gaming is a niche area for law firms," said Baker to Law360 Pulse. "Only a small subset of large firms set themselves out as having a gaming practice. . .  But gaming itself as an industry is a fast-growing area fraught with legal challenges."

Katherine is the Chair of the Gaming Industry Group at the firm and represents businesses and individuals in complex civil litigation matters at the trial and appellate levels. A primary focus of her practice is assisting casino gaming, sports betting, and fantasy sports operators, vendors, and entrepreneurs to navigate the state and federal commercial and tribal gaming landscape, including leveraging FinTech solutions. The Gaming Industry Group provides a multi-disciplinary approach to solving business challenges and helps clients build strategic relationships in the sector.  Attorneys in the Gaming Group draw on diverse backgrounds in the gaming industry, including former general counsel for operators and gaming software companies, regulators, and tribal judiciary leaders.  More information about the Gaming Industry Group can be found here.
