We represent leading operators in the UK and have advised a number of multinational corporations on their entry into the UK and European markets

The land based gambling industry is highly regulated, but we can help guide you through all aspects of regulatory and licensing work, including applications for licences, renewals, change of premises and regulatory hearings. We represent casino operators, betting operators, gaming machine manufacturers and their suppliers. Our clients appreciate the lengths we go to assist in developing and expanding their offering, including advising on new games, marketing schemes, outside gaming areas and automated gaming.

We frequently advise corporate law firms, private equity firms and banks on gambling licensing and regulatory matters and specialist due diligence. We can assist with all the licensing and regulatory aspects of the sale and purchase of a gaming business or casino licence, including due diligence and transfer and variation of the licence.

We are often asked to advise on the acquisition and disposal of casinos, corporate group restructuring of multinational gambling corporations and venture capital investment, and also provide specialist commercial and business advice to gambling machine manufacturers on franchise, distribution and licensing arrangements.
