AGS Bolsters Legal Eagles: Robert Blair Takes Flight as Deputy General Counsel
Legal authority Robert Blair joins AGS as new Deputy General Counsel
AGS, a top-dog in the casino industry, supplying slot machines, table games, and interactive gaming solutions, has winged in renowned lawyer Robert "Bob" Blair as their new deputy general counsel. This strategic swoop comes as AGS soars towards uncharted growth avenues.
Rob Ziems, AGS chief legal officer and secretary, couldn't be more pumped about Blair joining the nest, shouting out his avalanche of corporate legal courage and patent clout. Ziems is clear-eyed about Blair's game-changing expertise laying the ground for AGS' continued growth and brand domination amidst an ever-evolving industry maze.
Blair's legal beak has been wagging through the skies for a hefty two decades. Before linking with AGS, he held iconic roles at Aruze Gaming America, Inc. Take, for instance, those times when Blair reigned as global general counsel, global deputy general counsel, and global senior IP counsel within Aruze's legal eagle squad. His portfolio features steering the company through considerable transitions, such as the transfer of electronic table game assets to Interblock and the pending acquisition of slot operations by Play Synergy.
Moreover, Blair's career bat run includes stints as a US patent attorney at EIP, an international patent-focused law firm, and as vice president of patents at Unwired Planet. His contributions were nothing short of powerful at International Game Technology, where he soldered on as associate general counsel of intellectual property for a hefty stretch.
AGS' Legal Eagle Army Grows Stronger
With Blair's wings now spread over AGS, his responsibilities will stretch across a broad range of legal matters. Partnering with the executive crew to guarantee compliance and governance mother henning will be high on his to-do list. Blair's caballero alerta signals AGS' intention to fortify its legal foundation and prime itself for sustained ascent.
AGS' bold move to add Blair to their flock comes at a time of global expansion for the company. As hinted in its Q2 report, AGS has been coasting to victory in 29 US states, four Canadian provinces, and one foreign land beyond North America. This global migration supports AGS' strategic vision of extending their wings and targeting larger corporate peeps.
AGS' chief legal officer Robert Ziems, under whose hawk-eye Blair will operate, is a relatively fresh face at AGS himself. The company onboarded him in February this year, enlisting his 24 years of field experience to amplify AGS' legal and compliance prowess, most notably in Latin America. AGS' recent fraternizing with DraftKings, expanding online game content offerings, further emphasizes the company's forward-thinking strategies. With the addition of Robert Blair, AGS is prepped to glide through intricate legal vortexes while maintaining its growth momentum.
