Treanor Devlin Brown brings rare dual-perspective expertise to gaming law. Our founding partners not only prosecuted the landmark cases that redefined the industry but now leverage that insider knowledge to protect gaming companies navigating today’s complex regulatory landscape.
Architects of Modern Gaming Enforcement
As federal prosecutors in the Southern District of New York, Tim Treanor and Arlo Devlin-Brown spearheaded the Department of Justice’s years-long campaign against offshore internet gambling operations illegally doing business in the United States, violating not only federal and state gaming laws but money laundering and bank fraud statutes through unlawful payment processing operations. In fact, some of the payment processors targeted used early forms of digital currency, a prelude to blockchain-based cryptocurrency. These groundbreaking prosecutions recovered over $3 billion in penalties, established precedent-setting legal frameworks for digital gaming enforcement, and fundamentally restructured how the industry operates.
In private practice, the founding partners have advised numerous clients in the gaming industry, including global publicly traded casinos, on both gaming law compliance issues and in responding to governmental investigations.
