The gaming industry has become a major platform for e-commerce and a significant driver of intellectual property, antitrust, contract, and M&A disputes. As game publishers, platform operators, and technology companies compete across consoles, PC, mobile, and cloud environments, legal teams increasingly rely on our video game experts to explain how these products and ecosystems actually work.
DOAR represents gaming professionals who have designed, operated, and analyzed gaming products and ecosystems. Our network includes academic and industry leaders in computer science, software engineering, user experience, network infrastructure, and digital economics. Many have served as a video gaming expert witness in matters involving platform rules, distribution practices, in-game monetization models, and the relationships among publishers, platforms, and players.
We also represent experts in the industry who focus on online gambling and iGaming, virtual and augmented reality, casino and social gaming, and user interface design. They help legal teams evaluate technical and market behavior, test theories of harm and competition, and present gaming-related issues with clarity and credibility in high-stakes disputes.
