Founded in 1987 and active across all five continents, the firm brings a depth of experience and a quality of international contact that few advisory practices in this sector can match.

The firm has advised on transactions and developments totalling tens of billions of dollars, led negotiations with national governments at Minister level, and built a depth of international relationships across every sector of the global gaming industry that is rarely matched in a boutique advisory practice.
