Law360 Features Sports & Betting MVP Jeremy Kudon

September.21.2021

Law360 featured partner Jeremy Kudon as a 2021 MVP in Sports & Betting law, highlighting his pioneering work shaping sports betting legislation around the nation on behalf of professional sports leagues and the fantasy sports industry.

The publication specifically cited his legislative successes this past year in New York and Arizona, two states that legalized sports betting where there were particularly complex regulatory challenges to overcome. In an interview with the publication, Jeremy described being motivated to craft new solutions for sports betting regulation and the impact it is having in legal sports betting markets.

“When I go to a state and see that you can make a bet on a game legally in a safe and fun environment that means I’ve succeeded,” Jeremy said.

Jeremy, head of Orrick’s Public Policy practice, has now been recognized as a Law360 MVP three times.

No other group in the United States - whether at a law firm, public affairs firm, or inside the Beltway - can match Jeremy and Orrick's record of success in the state legislatures. Unlike others, who specialize in tracking bills, identifying contract lobbyists (and taking a % of their fee), or developing expensive media and PR campaigns, Jeremy and his team don't specialize in any one area of state government affairs; they specialize in EVERYTHING. They learn your business, work with you on your objectives--both overall and in the state legislatures, identify threats/opportunities, develop a budget, hire contract lobbyists, draft legislation, prepare advocacy pieces, attend legislative conferences, travel to state capitols and educate members about your issue, testify before committees, develop and implement grassroots and PR campaigns, coordinate roll calls, and coordinate every aspect of both the state and overall campaign to add the most possible value to your business.

Just listen to what the media and our clients have to say – The New York Times profiled our efforts in passing online sports betting and daily fantasy sports legislation in an extensive above-the-fold report and in an episode of their podcast, “The Daily.” And from an interview with TechCruch, DraftKings CEO Jason Robins said Jeremy and Orrick’s Public Policy team have “helped us go from a tech company that didn’t know a whole lot about legislative affairs and regulation to really being sophisticated there” and praised that “For anyone who’s in a disruptive industry and might be regulated, they really did a fantastic job.”
