The Litigator of the Week award goes to Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher’s Matthew McGill. The Washington, D.C.-based partner led a team to victory in a case where the entire online gambling industry as well as multi-state lotteries like Powerball were at risk after an abrupt new Justice Department position.

Representing online lottery system technology provider NeoPollard Interactive and Pollard Banknote, McGill persuaded Judge Paul Barbadoro of the U.S. District Court for the District of New Hampshire on June 3 to strike down the new DOJ policy.
