Job

The digital landscape is undergoing a seismic shift, and nowhere is this more evident than in the intersection of decentralized finance and the global iGaming sector.

, a rapidly expanding player in the global crypto casino space, is currently seeking a Legal Counsel to join their team in Berlin. This role represents a pivotal career move for legal professionals looking to transition into the fast-paced, high-growth environment of fintech-adjacent entertainment.

In the iGaming industry, legal counsel is not merely a support function; it is a strategic partner. Unlike traditional corporate roles, a Legal Counsel at a firm like over

This requires a proactive approach to monitoring legislative changes and assessing their impact on the company’s product roadmap.
• Draft and Negotiate High-Value Agreements: From technology and platform licensing to complex marketing and affiliate partnerships, you will hone your skills in drafting agreements that protect the company’s intellectual property while facilitating commercial growth.
• Manage Global Disputes: The role involves coordinating litigation, arbitration, and mediation strategies. This is a rare opportunity to manage external counsel and develop a sophisticated understanding of cross-border enforcement and interim relief.
• Cross-Functional Collaboration: You will work directly with product, finance, and marketing teams, ensuring that legal advice is not just accurate, but commercially pragmatic and aligned with the company’s 'player-first' mindset.
