Games and Interactive Entertainment

Video gaming has become the world’s biggest entertainment industry – a rapidly evolving industry that presents significant opportunities and challenges for our clients.

With the growing popularity of gaming, competition has intensified and the industry has attracted substantial investment in recent years. This is driving innovation and technology advances, and growth in areas such as cloud gaming, virtual reality, and esports.

Gamers can enjoy increasingly immersive experiences and we are seeing the expansion of virtual worlds in the metaverse enabling social games and other entertainment experiences and virtual events. Consumer demand is increasing and new monetization models are emerging.

We are advising clients across the games and interactive entertainment ecosystem as they pursue opportunities in this dynamic market: from strategic acquisitions of technology and talent, to the use of blockchain networks and digital assets, to leveraging their intellectual property.

As games companies face a wave of new digital regulation, increasing regulatory enforcement, and heightened litigation risk, we are helping clients navigate these risks and supporting them in their ambitions.
