Gambling and Gaming Law
One of the most recent areas of expertise added to our legal practice is Gambling and Gaming Law.
Regulated gambling markets require a comprehensive and multidisciplinary legal approach, where niche industry expertise must seamlessly integrate with other key areas of law such as Fintech, Data Protection (GDPR), Anti-Money Laundering (AML), Consumer Protection, Audiovisual and Media Law, Marketing and Advertising regulations, as well as technology-related compliance.
We strongly believe that the gambling industry has evolved continuously, driven by technological innovation and the increasing complexity of digital platforms. In this context, regulated jurisdictions, including Romania require heightened legal attention, in-depth regulatory knowledge, and practical experience.
Our services are designed to support clients seeking to enter or operate in highly regulated gambling markets such as Romania, where compliance is essential, but where regulatory ambiguities still exist, leaving room for informed interpretation, strategic structuring, and experience-based legal solutions.
With a team that includes specialists with over 10 years of experience in working with the Romanian gambling authorities, we take pride in our ability to support our clients’ needs throughout the entire lifecycle of their operations — from obtaining licences for ancillary services or for the organisation and operation of gambling activities with National Gaming Office in Romania, to providing assistance in licence recognition procedures before other regulatory authorities, such as the Malta Gaming Authority.
