The role We are looking for a Senior Legal and Regulatory Counsel to join our Legal and Regulatory Affairs team in London.

As a Group, Flutter operates some of the world’s most innovative, diverse, and distinctive sports betting and gaming brands. PokerStars, Betfair, Sky Betting and Gaming, Paddy Power, FOX Bet , Sportsbet, TVG, Oddschecker and more.

The areas of legal work will involve litigious and non-litigious matters and will involve working with external lawyers and government affairs consultancies/ trade associations.

Why we need you

Our sector is fast paced, technology driven and highly regulated. As a result, our International Division’s Legal & Regulatory Affairs team enjoys the challenge of sophisticated, multi-jurisdictional work within a wide range of regulatory frameworks. As a global company that has recently undertaken a major merger, operates worldwide, and has major growth ambitions, there are many opportunities to develop. You will also be part of a team responsible for securing workable regulatory conditions for Flutter’s international business and managing its legal risk profile.

Who we’re looking for?

Candidates shall be able to demonstrate the following:

• A minimum of 6-7 PQE
• Experience in regulatory law (e.g. competition/antitrust, financial services, administrative law or others). Experience in these areas can be contentious or non-contentious, as well as from private practice and/or in-house.
• Experience in dealing with regulators (either in an in-house role or in private practice) in any of the following industries: gambling, telecoms, utilities, transport, media, alcohol, tobacco or others.
• Experience on working with cross-border issues is advantageous (again, this experience can be either contentious or non-contentious)
• Interest in gambling law, policy and international perspectives on the industry;
• Training and post-qualification experience at reputable law firms.
• A strong and consistent academic record.
• A strong desire to forge a career as an in-house lawyer and build strong, lasting relationships with internal commercial stakeholders.
• Foreign languages desirable but not essential.

What’s in it for you?

Our experience-based salaries are competitive. Plus, there’s a discretionary annual performance bonus. And we provide advice and dedicated assistance to those moving to London.

Your package will include

• health and dental insurance for you, your partner, and your children (if you all live at the same address)
