Transitioning into the iGaming industry was not just a career move—it was a decision shaped by curiosity, challenge, and opportunity. Coming from a background in electronic communications, I found iGaming to be a dynamic space where legal expertise is not only valued but essential. Gaming is constantly evolving and , the pace of technological advancement is stimulating. For someone with a strong legal and regulatory background, this means staying ahead of emerging legal frameworks and helping the commercial necessities of a gaming company be aligned with such.

While working locally is possible, being a Senior Legal Counsel with a leading gaming company has enabled me to attain a global reach due to operations over various jurisdictions, each with its own legal landscape. This complexity offers various challenges, meeting new experts in the field, learning and cross-border collaboration. It’s intellectually stimulating and professionally rewarding to navigate these waters and contribute to this.

My current role involves managing the legal aspects and requirements of the white label operations, player claims, and corporate changes within the group, ensuring legal integrity and operational efficiency. This includes drafting commercial agreements, such as partner services agreements, and content agreements, and intra company agreements. Contribution to group level legal responsibilities is also a key responsibility and includes managing and overseeing corporate changes withing the group structure.

The igaming industry offer a culture of agility, where a senior legal counsel is not confined to traditional legal tasks or is just a gatekeeper but a strategic partner. This fosters a culture where legal input is integrated early in commercial decisions later on reflected in contracts, marketing, and operations.

The industry values legal professionals who can think commercially and act strategically. It’s a space where your advice shapes business decisions, not just legal outcomes. If you're seeking a career that challenges you, grows your expertise, and places you at the heart of innovation, iGaming might be the right move.
