A Master Strategist in Gaming and Corporate Law

Our company faced a complex regulatory challenge involving a new casino development, requiring navigation of both corporate structuring and Mississippi gaming law. We turned to Scott Andress at Balch & Bingham, and it was the best decision we could have made. His deep, 33-year experience was immediately evident. Scott didn't just recite the law; he provided a strategic roadmap that anticipated regulatory hurdles and protected our interests. His recognition as a multi-time 'Lawyer of the Year' in Gaming Law is clearly well-earned. Scott’s professionalism and calm guidance turned a potentially fraught situation into a smooth, successful process. He is an exceptional attorney who delivers results.
