Kalshi brings in former U.S. solicitor general as Washington state gambling case escalatesNeal Katyal, a former U.S. acting solicitor general who leads Milbank’s U.S. Supreme Court practice, is representing Kalshi in state cases across the country. Kalshi has appealed to the Washington Court of Appeals, and asked McHale to pause his injunction pending that appeal. Court records also indicate that former U.S. Acting Solicitor General Neal Katyal, Kalshi’s lead national counsel in similar state cases, is now representing the company in the Washington state case. Both sides have been pushing to shape McHale’s decision, submitting federal court rulings from other states for his consideration. McHale’s next ruling, expected in the coming days, should determine whether Kalshi will have to stop operating in Washington state while its appeal plays out.
