Ashurst and Baker & McKenzie have advised on the development of a new $1.4 billion Crown Ltd. casino in Sydney.

Crown, an Australian gaming and entertainment group, has received final approval from the New South Wales government to build a Crown casino at Barangaroo on Sydney Harbor. The permission comes with some conditions. Local residents will only be allowed to play if they join a special membership club. No poker machines will be allowed in the casino and the overall gaming space will be restricted to 20,000 square meters.
