We focus on clear, practical advice that works in the real world. In a sector where rules shift quickly and can be hard to interpret, we help clients navigate fast‑moving commercial, regulatory and reputational risks.

Gambling is a highly regulated and fast-moving sector in which serious commercial, regulatory and reputational risks can appear quickly. We provide pragmatic and timely advice for clients in an industry where regulation can be confusing and unpredictable.

Our team helps operators navigate uncertainty, mitigate financial risks, protect their licences and make commercially sound decisions under pressure. We are not regulatory lawyers who have moved into gambling. We are steeped in gambling and the challenges faced by operators, punters and other participants.

We are known in particular for assisting when things go wrong, acting on complex and high-value contentious matters for bookmakers, technology companies, charities and other businesses across the industry as well for high-rolling punters, entrepreneurs and syndicates.

Contentious matters

Our contentious work spans the full range of issues that arise in the sector, from disputes over gambling contracts, judicial review of public body decisions, commercial contract disputes and alleged regulatory breaches through to sports integrity investigations, criminal and quasi-criminal matters and reputation management.

Commercial, tax and regulatory work

Alongside our disputes work, we advise established gambling businesses on commercial arrangements, specialist tax issues, policies and procedures and sponsorship contracts and we support the launch of new operators from structuring through to market entry.

Our lawyers are widely acknowledged not just as legal experts in gambling but as industry experts and are regularly asked to provide commentary and insight in both the mainstream and specialist media on gambling matters.
