In an attempt to capture a piece of the legal work in the world’s largest gaming market, Dickinson Wright says it has become the first Am Law 200 firm to establish a presence in the Chinese region of Macau through an alliance with a local law firm. Dickinson has teamed up with Macau firm MdME, according to a statement on Monday.
The affiliation with nine-lawyer MdME is Dickinson’s third partnership geared toward its 30-lawyer gaming practice. In 2011 Detroit-based Dickinson formed alliances with local firms in Malta, a hub for Internet gaming servers, and Lima, Peru, another large land-based gaming market.
