- Transition to Regulated Markets: Lead efforts to ensure smooth transitions from operating in pre-regulated markets to full regulatory compliance as the business expands, advising on licensing procedures, regulatory requirements, and risk management.
- B2B Provider Contracts: Draft, review, and negotiate contracts with B2B providers, ensuring favourable terms while managing legal risks.
- Cross-Jurisdictional Expertise: Stay updated on gambling regulations in different markets, proactively advising on legal strategies for expansion and compliance.
- Corporate Governance & Reporting: Ensure the company's governance structures meet legal standards, maintaining accurate records and advising on board reporting requirements.
- Commercial Agreements & Negotiations: Lead negotiations for key commercial agreements, ensuring terms align with business goals while minimizing risk exposure.
- Legal Research & Risk Analysis: Conduct comprehensive legal research on relevant regulatory issues and provide actionable insights to internal teams.
- Stakeholder Management: Serve as a key advisor to the executive team, offering strategic legal insights to support our growth in compliance with legal standards.
Qualifications:
- Law Degree & Licensing: Qualified to practice law in a recognized jurisdiction, with international legal experience preferred.
- Experience in Online Gambling: 5-7 years of legal experience, with a focus on the online gambling industry, particularly in working with Curacao-licensed operators.
- Regulatory Transition Expertise: Proven track record in guiding companies through the transition from pre-regulated to fully regulated markets.
- Regulatory Knowledge: In-depth understanding of gambling regulations across various markets and the ability to assess and advise on compliance and risk management.
- B2B Contract Expertise: Strong experience in negotiating B2B contracts, with a focus on mitigating risks while fostering business growth.
- Risk Management: Ability to assess and manage legal risks, particularly in emerging and regulated gambling markets.
- Commercial Acumen: A business-minded approach to legal strategy, balancing legal considerations with commercial objectives.
- Communication & Leadership: Excellent communication and leadership skills, with the ability to influence stakeholders at all levels.
- Adaptability: Thrive in a fast-paced, start-up environment and manage multiple projects with competing deadlines.
