We have advised racecourses, online operators, charities, trade bodies, leisure venues and private individuals as well as non-gambling sector companies wishing to run product promotions or games in the ordinary course of their business.
We provide strategic advice on commercial opportunities, regulatory compliance, tax issues, corporate structure and company set up and data protection and IP/IT issues which are often also of importance to gambling operators, especially those who operate online.
We often speak at conferences and events and can provide tailored training on the gambling issues that affect you.
We understand the commercial objectives of our clients and have experience of balancing these objectives with the regulatory requirements clients must comply with.
