I am an associate in our commercial practice, based in London. I advise clients across the gambling, sports, media and entertainment sectors on regulatory, transactional and commercial matters.

The UK general election will take place on 4th July and the polls are currently pointing towards the Labour party establishing a majority government. Here, we examine what a Labour government might mean for gambling regulation in the UK and how this could impact the reform which has been taking place since the publication of the Gambling White Paper in April 2023.
