Legal Counsel

at  LeoVegas Group

WHO WE ARE

At the core of LeoVegas Group is Team Leo. Our culture is our foundation and is what enables us to innovate, build, and lead as we trailblaze our way through the igaming industry. We’re a team of over 1400 innovators, initiators, and groundbreakers working in a fast-paced and agile environment across 11 offices worldwide.

ABOUT THE ROLE

We are seeking an enthusiastic Legal Counsel who has an interest in sports, media & marketing to join our dynamic in-house legal team. You will be part of an international team of lawyers, working on projects related to our rapidly expanding business including online gaming brands and related businesses that LeoVegas Group operates in multiple jurisdictions as part of MGM Resorts International. This role will sit specifically within the Commercial & IP arm of the LeoVegas Group legal team. This is a growing team of 8 legal professionals who are located in the UK & Malta. We do also, however, have legal team members located in our Stockholm & Gibraltar offices who you would also work alongside at a group level.
Our ideal candidate would be someone who can hold their own, and is willing to get involved in a wide variety of work including contract negotiations, but who also has some experience in intellectual property matters. However, we can be flexible on this, and a keen interest and willingness to learn more about intellectual property matters would suffice. Our ultimate goal would be for you to work closely with stakeholders in our brand and marketing teams, advising on any IP aspects of new campaigns that they are working on to promote our products across all forms of media globally, amongst other matters. However, this could come in time with experience.
You will have the opportunity to work on a variety of high value commercial agreements such as sponsorship deals including with sports teams, marketing agreements with media / creative agencies and celebrity/influencer agreements across all markets that the group operates in. In the past 12 months alone we have negotiated deals with several premier league football clubs, a-list celebrity Chris Rock as well as several prestigious horse racing and darts partnerships. For sports enthusiasts, the legal work at LeoVegas Group is as exciting as it gets!
The Commercial & IP team are also responsible for consumer facing terms and conditions, group insurance matters, commercial litigation, employment law issues and more! You will work closely with stakeholders across the entire commercial arm of the business and have the opportunity to work on a number of business expansion projects, as we continue to grow our existing brands alongside a roll out of the ‘BetMGM’ brand in new markets throughout 2024 and beyond.
