Segev LLP, a prominent law firm known for its expertise in gaming and betting law, has announced the opening of a new office in Calgary. This strategic move comes as Alberta prepares to launch a regulated iGaming market, expected to open as early as 2025. The Calgary office will enable Segev LLP to better serve its clients in the region, offering a range of legal services including regulatory compliance, mergers and acquisitions, and public-markets finance.
Strategic Expansion into Alberta
Segev LLP’s decision to open an office in Calgary is driven by the province’s burgeoning economy and the anticipated launch of a regulated iGaming market. Alberta is currently experiencing significant economic growth, attracting businesses and investors from across Canada. The new office will allow Segev LLP to provide localized support to its clients, particularly in the gaming and betting sectors. The firm has already begun hiring Alberta-based lawyers to lead the new office, ensuring that they are well-prepared to navigate the local regulatory landscape.
The Calgary office will also serve as a hub for Segev LLP’s broader business operations in Alberta. The firm has extensive experience working with the Alberta Gaming, Liquor and Cannabis Commission (AGLC), having handled multiple transactions involving land-based casinos and horse-racing facilities in the province. This expertise positions Segev LLP as a key player in the upcoming iGaming market, where they will replicate their successful strategies from Ontario’s market launch.
Meeting Client Demands
Segev LLP’s expansion into Calgary is a direct response to client demands for more localized legal support in Alberta. The firm’s clients, many of whom are involved in the gaming and betting industries, have been pushing for greater access to legal services in the province. By establishing a physical presence in Calgary, Segev LLP can offer more personalized and efficient services, helping clients navigate the complexities of Alberta’s regulatory environment.
The new office will also enable Segev LLP to better support clients looking to raise funds and secure financing through Alberta-based entities. The province’s business-friendly environment and streamlined regulatory processes make it an attractive destination for companies seeking to expand their operations. Segev LLP’s expertise in public-markets finance and private-equity transactions will be invaluable to clients looking to capitalize on these opportunities.
Future Prospects and Growth
Looking ahead, Segev LLP is optimistic about the future prospects of its Calgary office. The firm anticipates that the opening of Alberta’s iGaming market will drive significant business growth, attracting new clients and expanding its service offerings. Segev LLP is committed to staying ahead of industry trends and providing innovative legal solutions to its clients.
The Calgary office will also play a crucial role in Segev LLP’s broader strategy to expand its presence across Canada. With offices already established in Vancouver and Toronto, the firm is well-positioned to serve clients nationwide. The addition of the Calgary office further strengthens Segev LLP’s ability to provide comprehensive legal services, from regulatory compliance to mergers and acquisitions, across multiple jurisdictions.
