Fladgate

Fladgate is a law firm that advises gambling businesses on licensing, regulatory questions and corporate transactions. Its office is at 16 Great Queen Street, London WC2B 5DG, United Kingdom.

Services

Three areas are named: licensing due diligence, regulatory support and corporate transactions. Licensing due diligence is the review of a target's or partner's permits and compliance history, which investors and acquirers perform before buying a gaming business. Regulatory support covers day-to-day questions from operators, and the corporate side includes deals such as acquisitions and investments.

Coverage

The firm is based in London, but no countries or regulators are mapped to the gaming practice, and the legal entity name and registration details are not given. Anyone considering the firm should ask which gaming regimes its lawyers advise on, for example the UK or other jurisdictions.

Who it suits

The profile suits operators, investors and suppliers in the gambling sector who are preparing a purchase, a sale, or a licence application and want a firm that combines regulatory knowledge with transaction experience. Fees and the size of the team are not published and are worth clarifying at the outset.
