Legal Counsel

PAPHOS / LIMASSOL / TBILISI / REMOTE

will be happy to bring into the fold an experienced Legal Counsel (Product & Regulatory)!

What you will be doing:

• Review new features and mechanics (monetization, UI flows, user acquisition campaigns, etc.) and provide legal recommendations to product teams.

• Advise product and business teams on consumer protection, gaming compliance and regulatory risk, including advertising, subscriptions, discounts, promotions and price displays.

• Support game launches in new markets and/or on new platforms: map pre-release requirements and local compliance, assess legal risks.

• Assess product compliance with platform requirements (App Store, Google Play, PlayStation, Xbox).

• Own compliance with EU consumer and digital regulation (Consumer Rights Directive, Unfair Commercial Practices Directive, Digital Content Directive, Digital Services Act, etc.), as well as consumer protection and online safety laws in other countries.

• Manage age ratings (e.g. IARC, rating agencies (PEGI, ESRB, USK, etc.) and platform-specific systems).

• Design and implement age verification and child safety processes in line with platform and regulatory standards.

• Draft and maintain the EULA and rules for contests and community events, and coordinate their rollout in user flows and internal processes.

• Draft, review and negotiate commercial agreements with service providers and vendors, advertising networks and platforms.

• Support commercial deals with partners, brands, clubs, agencies, ambassadors and marketing partners: structure, draft and negotiate licensing, marketing, publishing and partnership agreements.

• Take ownership of monitoring regulatory developments and translating them into practical changes to product and internal processes.
