Throughout Glenn Light’s childhood in England, he and his family regularly attended horse races, where his interest in the gaming industry was piqued. In law school, Light was the only person in his class to write his dissertation on gaming law.
The chair of Lewis Roca’s Commercial Gaming Practice Group, Light’s expertise in this complicated and high-stakes world is invaluable to his clients. He has worked with a variety of gaming and transaction matters for land-based and interactive casinos, sports betting and, of course, horse racing. Every day brings a new challenge, and he welcomes all the complexities that the industry has to offer. “The gaming industry is rife with innovation. Every day it seems like a client has a new idea,” Light said. “The tough part is navigating innovation through regulation, which often cannot keep pace.”
Light, who regularly appears before the Nevada Gaming Control Board and the Nevada Gaming Commission, has also authored more than 50 publications including articles and law review journals. He has participated in a wide range of gaming matters in tribal, state and foreign jurisdictions. He looks forward to continuing to grow Lewis Roca’s Gaming Practice Group and spending any spare moment with his family.
