This is the first year we have allowed private practice lawyers into the Hot 50, which explains why Stephen Ketteley has not managed to secure a place in it before now.

He would not thank us for listing his clients but Ketteley has long been the go-to for most of the industry’s biggest suppliers and operators.

Never before has his counsel been more urgently sought. When the Gambling Commission is investigating your company it pays to seek out the best, and most seek out Ketteley.

In an ever-changing landscape, Ketteley provides wise and commercially-minded counsel that can be a life-saver.
