History

Cooper Levenson was formed in 1957 with two attorneys in Atlantic City, NJ. Since then, the firm has grown to include attorneys who practice in more than 25 practice areas, and offices in six states.

Cooper Levenson has always dominated the practice of gaming law on the East Coast, crafting legislation that enabled casinos to open in Atlantic City in the 1970s and representing most of the casino companies doing business in New Jersey. In 2007, the firm “went West” and launched its Nevada practice, adding a Las Vegas location to the offices in New Jersey and Delaware. In 2017, as the firm celebrates its 60th anniversary, the firm opened an office in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.

Cooper Levenson has always held fast to our corporate philosophy of dedication to the community – and especially to the children – as the best way to ensure a strong future for our hometowns. We are honored to have received numerous awards for our community service efforts over the years:

Through all of our extensive growth and change, the cornerstones of our firm’s foundation remain the same: quality lawyering, commitment to client service, corporate citizenship, and dedication to community.

We think Atlantic City Councilman-at-Large Mo Delgado said it best when bestowing on the firm the “Home Town Hero” award saying, “Among us are some special people who do extraordinary things to help others in Atlantic City. These everyday people don’t look for accolades or benefit of any kind for doing what they do; it’s just part of who they are.”
