About

Provided by A&L Goodbody

Well-known brands are the mainstay of the department’s work, and we advise on novel, complex legal points where urgent advice can be required particularly relating to the impacts of COVID-19 and the unique challenges posed to retailers by the ever-changing legislative framework.

We have also a number of instructions coming from outside of the jurisdiction including Great Britain, United States of America and even China seeking advice relating to the operation of digitally based technologies in the online gambling sphere.
