Law firm Holland & Knight has announced that Timothy Lowry has joined as a partner in its Philadelphia office.
Lowry is a corporate attorney who has an extensive background providing legal and strategic advice to domestic and multinational clients in the gaming, entertainment and hospitality industries that draw on his deep experience in complex commercial transactions, mergers and acquisitions (M&A), real estate acquisitions and financing, privatization and concession agreements, and general litigation.
Lowry has represented private equity sponsors, capital groups, large technology companies, professional sports teams, entertainment and media companies, casino and lottery operating companies, energy generating companies, real estate development companies, and government instrumentalities and agencies. Lowry routinely counsels clients on organizational structures and governance matters specific to targets facing the gaming industry.
He also advises regularly on such subject matters as gaming regulatory compliance, gaming licensing relative to multijurisdictional platforms, sweepstakes and marketing promotions, and the many issues emanating from the convergence of retail and digital platforms in the gaming and sports betting industries. Lowry has worked on a number of cross-border transactions, including projects in Canada, Mexico, the Bahamas, the Philippines and the United Kingdom.
“Tim’s arrival will help strengthen our national practice and build upon our growing presence in the entertainment and gaming industries,” said Jose Sirven, chair of Holland & Knight’s Business Section. “Gaming, in particular, has proven to be recession-proof, and we’ve seen a lot of interest in the sector from private equity firms, professional teams and leagues, and many tech companies, all of which are looking to monetize opportunities fueled by the expansion of gaming laws throughout the country. Tim’s experience will help us align with these clients as they pursue and expand these investments and monetization opportunities.”
In addition, Lowry is a frequent speaker, panelist or moderator on sports betting, internet gaming issues, lottery modernization, the proliferation of gambling and related topics at events and conferences throughout the United States and overseas.
Lowry earned his J.D. from Seton Hall University School of Law and a B.A. degree from Saint Joseph’s University.
