Brittany Bonetti will join the firm’s Healthcare, Cannabis and Tax Law practice groups at its Cherry Hill office, the firm said on Tuesday, while attorney Jennifer Barr will head the firm’s Appeals and Research practice group out of its Atlantic City office.
The firm has become a major player in New Jersey’s casino and gambling sectors, touting itself as having been involved with the state’s casino legalization efforts in the 1970s, and more recently with state subsidies for the Atlantic City casinos, like the $261 million tax break for the present-day Ocean Casino Resort.
They also operate in the nation’s other gaming mecca Las Vegas, as well as in New York City, Florida and Delaware—states whose governments have all legalized gambling.
“These individuals have proven themselves in terms of their professionalism, their expertise, and their dedication,” reads a prepared statement from Lloyd Levenson, chief executive officer at Cooper Levenson. “We are very pleased to welcome Jennifer and Brittany as partners.”
Levenson is the namesake figure for the Lloyd D. Levenson Institute of Gaming, Hospitality and Tourism, a think tank based out of Stockton University just outside Atlantic City, which does research on those sectors.
Bonetti has represented hospitals and health care systems, as well as individual doctors and physicians groups, in different regulatory and business legal matters, according to the statement. She was previously a law clerk for Eugene McCaffrey, a Superior Court judge in Gloucester County.
Barr, meanwhile, boasts two decades in criminal and civil appeals. She served as an appellate court law clerk under Steven Kleiner between 1998 and 1999, and previously taught law as an adjunct professor at Stockton University between 2010 and 2016.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
