People: Poppleston Allen; BDO

Richard Bradley

Nottingham and London based alcohol and gambling licensing law firm Poppleston Allen has promoted Richard Bradley to partner.

Bradley, a gambling industry compliance and regulatory expert, specialises in gambling license applications, expansion projects, acquisition deals and other compliance-based legal activity.

He has also led industry commentary around a number of tending and topical compliance related stories, including how working from home affects the rules governing workplace sweepstakes.

He said: “The gambling sector has always shown a resilient and entrepreneurial spirit with many novel concepts being introduced by both existing operators and new entrants to the market. We also continue to see vibrancy in the market with increasing levels of investment, acquisition and expansion.

“The gambling regime is already complex and we expect to see further regulatory changes, which will no doubt keep us and our clients busy.

“I am proud to be part of a firm which seeks to provide effective and practical solutions helping operators to understand and navigate the regulatory landscape.”

BDO LLP has appointed a new partner to lead its digital risk advisory services (DRAS) team in the Midlands.

Sandi Dosanjh previously worked at PwC and KPMG and is chair of the Women’s National Football League.

Evan Devetzis, partner, DRAS, said: “We’re delighted to welcome someone of Sandi’s calibre to the Midlands team, as we continue to grow our digital offering, both regionally and nationally.

“Having someone on the ground in the Midlands, who has the experience and expertise to lead complex and large-scale risk programmes, will be vital to achieving our growth ambitions. In the last 12 months, DRAS has grown by 65 percent with significant potential in the Midlands market to expand our presence further.”

Dosanjh added: “I’m really looking forward to collaborating with colleagues to create something very special in my home region. To build and grow a team is an opportunity that doesn’t come around very often in your career and to have the opportunity to do that at BDO with a talented team of people is really exciting.”
