Harris Hagan is delighted to announce that David Whyte will be promoted to Partner with effect from 1 April 2024.

David has been an enormous asset to the firm since joining in 2019, having previously worked in-house within the online and land-based sectors and for nine years at the Gambling Commission in both the enforcement and legal departments. His practical operational experience and unique insight into the gambling regulatory framework, aligned with his legal expertise and highly personable approach, has been invaluable to the firm and our clients, particularly on high-profile compliance and enforcement mandates, including some of the most significant cases in the recent history of the UK gambling industry.

David is recognised in the legal directories as “not only [bringing] technical excellence to the firm but, importantly, an excellent understanding of the regulatory environment. His wider experience provides an invaluable contribution to strategic discussions.”

Bahar and I look forward to working in partnership with David as the firm continues to go from strength to strength in its 20^th year and enters a post-White Paper era for our clients.
