Hilary is a Consultant at Harris Hagan. She focuses solely on gambling related issues. Having spent five years holding the position as in house head of the gambling division at Ladbrokes, she recognised the need when coming back into private practice in 2000, of creating a legal service to support all the needs of gambling clients from regulatory issues, general commercial and corporate support (including fund raising) to structural and tax planning, and to provide this on a multi-jurisdictional basis. She has played a role in most of the online sector floats/acquisitions since 2000, but continues to advise bricks and mortar businesses from tracks to casinos. She has also written legislation and regulations for offshore governments as well as drawing up industry codes of practice.
