U.S. tribal casino operator Mohegan Gaming and Entertainment (MGE) has appointed Raymond Lin chief legal officer to develop the company’s legal and compliance strategy.
Lin previously served as a partner at Latham & Watkins, LLP, where he was co-head of the private equity practice group, representing lenders, developers, owners and operators of gaming properties. Earlier in his career, Lin worked at Davis, Polk & Wardwell.
In his new role, Lin will report directly to MGE President and CEO Ray Pineault. He will be responsible for advising executive management on commercial transactions, regulatory issues, international and domestic policy-making decisions and formulating business, operational and legal strategies.
He will also lead the legal, compliance and risk management teams to ensure that all current, future and strategic matters support the best interest of all of MGE and the Mohegan Tribe.
“We are pleased to welcome Ray Lin to our executive leadership team to ensure maximum protection of our legal rights and obligations across all of our properties,” said Pineault. “With more than 25 years of experience in the legal field representing both gaming and non-gaming transactions, Ray’s leadership and expertise will contribute to MGE’s continued growth and success.”
The company is developing an integrated resort in Incheon, South Korea and previously bid for a license in Nagasaki, Japan.
