Most recently, Slotnick attained a settlement for Sportingbet PLC in a case against the United States Attorney of the Southern District of New York. Sportingbet PLC, a publicly traded company on the London Stock Exchange (LON: SBT) entered into a non-prosecution agreement and forfeiture of $33 million. The settlement was viewed as a positive one for Sportingbet, as a competitor, Partygaming PLC, settled similar charges in 2009 for $105 million.

In 2006, Slotnick married Amy Albert, a counsel to New York law firm Weiss & Hiller. His father is Barry Slotnick, a litigation attorney well known for defending Bernard Goetz.

Slotnick also serves as corporate counsel to billionaire casino magnate, Steve Wynn, in litigation matters that have resulted in successful dismissal of claims and positive settlements. He has also served as a long-time lawyer for American Apparel. In December 2006, he helped them navigate a $250 million acquisition deal with Endeavour Acquisition Corp. He later represented American Apparel when they were sued by Woody Allen for using Allen's image without permission. The suit was settled before trial by American Apparel paying Allen $5 million.

Slotnick is known for defending several soldiers against the Army's stop-loss policy. In 2004, he successfully defended Jay Ferriola, a retired Army Captain who was ordered to redeploy to Iraq after completing eight years of service, under the grounds that the Army violated his due process rights. The case was the first to challenge the Army's stop-loss policy, which had affected tens of thousands of soldiers since the start of the Iraq War. Slotnick went on to successfully try four more similar cases.
