Overview

Sports, gambling and entertainment are highly visible sectors where licensing, public scrutiny, consumer protection, advertising, data, brand value and enforcement risk often meet. The firm supports operators, sponsors, rights-holders, investors, leisure businesses and public-facing brands on Greek-law regulatory, commercial, corporate and contentious matters.

Our experience includes gambling and betting regulation, casino-related matters, sports and major-event arrangements, sponsorship and commercial contracts, licensing structures, advertising and promotional restrictions, responsible gambling obligations, consumer-facing terms, IP, data protection and disputes. Clients and mandates in the sector have included Sportingbet, Hyatt casino-related matters and the Athens 2004 Olympic Games Organising Committee.

The firm has particular experience in gambling-sector disputes and regulatory issues, including proceedings concerning the Greek betting market and the legal framework applicable to gambling, casino and gaming-related activity. We also support clients on commercial and operational matters where entertainment, leisure, hospitality, tourism and public-facing consumer activity intersect.

Sector matters are handled through a coordinated team drawing on public law, regulatory, commercial, IP, data protection, corporate and disputes experience, particularly where licensing, enforcement exposure, brand value and public scrutiny need to be managed together.
