Leave nothing to chance

Create standout experiences without getting sidelined by regulatory setbacks.

Whether you’re operating a casino, rolling out a national promotion, or entering Ontario’s fast-growing iGaming market, success depends on more than great ideas. It requires navigating a maze of complex rules, anticipating regulatory scrutiny, and staying ahead of evolving standards. Even a single misstep in disclosure, eligibility, or prize structure can trigger costly fines, reputational risk, or prevent your campaign from ever getting off the ground. 

That’s where the right legal team makes the difference. With leading expertise in gaming, advertising, consumer protection, and digital compliance, we help you take promotions to market, secure approvals, manage cross-border risks, and stand strong before regulators.
