Legal and Compliance Advisor
Hilary Stewart-Jones was a partner in DLA Piper UK LLP’s London office and part of the Intellectual Property and Technology Group. She remained a consultant partner until March 2018 when she joined Harris Hagan also as a consultant partner specializing in gaming law. Hilary has also been working for the Teddy Sagi family office since January 2016. (The latter is an Israeli tech entrepreneur with three listed UK vehicles, including Playtech plc, and a burgeoning property portfolio). She has held a UK solicitor’s practicing certificate for 30 years during which time she has held board seats and more recently was Deputy Chairman at Playtech plc the UK listed online gaming technology company until she stepped down in 2015. She also holds executive roles in various other businesses.
Hilary qualified as a litigator but moved into a wider corporate and commercial role from the mid 1990’s. Hilary was the head of legal for the gambling division in Ladbrokes Group when the later still owned Hilton Hotels and a wide array of disparate businesses as well as the core betting shop estate casinos and horse and dog tracks. This exposed her to a wide variety of corporate transactions, day to day commercial work and core regulatory and compliance issues within a PLC structure. Because of the poor holistic gambling advisory support, she was able to source when in house and against the back- drop of online supplanting retail, she recognized a business opportunity and came back into private practice in 2000. She built a team to provide specialist premium legal support to cater for all the needs of gambling clients from regulatory issues, general commercial and corporate support (includ- ing fund raising) to structural and tax planning, and to provide this on a multi-jurisdictional basis.
She played a role in most of the online sector floats/acquisitions since 2000 but continued to advise bricks and mortar businesses from tracks to casinos covering all games and gambling products. She has also written legislation and regulations for offshore governments as well as drawing up industry codes of practice. She has also advised banks and PE houses on acquisition, payment service providers, binary and forex trading businesses. The current cross over between e-sports, fantasy, social and skins betting give rise to complex regulatory multi-jurisdictional issues as well as complex tax, and data protection challenges and amply demonstrate that technology developments coupled with the trend for cross border “regulatory creep” requires an ever-expanding knowledge of the gaming, technology and entertainment sectors, enabling her to create a highly industry focused Tier One rated legal practice.

Its main product, TAATU World, was a web integrated 2.5D environment where users could create, furnish and decorate their own room and participate in in-world media events. During that period, I was specialized in Pixel Art (2D post-treatment re-enforcing pixel’s visibility) and isometric. I’ve been responsible for the design, 3D production, Pixel-Art treatment and Flash integration of the majority of the virtual objects available in the catalogue and several public rooms on which I also worked as Level designer.
In 2011, the company released its very last product: Portal Places. A 2.5D social game for Facebook based on TAATU World’s engine. In parallel to my commitment as an employee for TAATU Studio, I worked on several personal games projects and get progressively involved in Game design, analysis and documentation for Creative 3D Web, Plc.
