Expertise
Ana Maria focuses her practice on the gambling and gaming industry, providing
comprehensive regulatory compliance, licensing, and other legal support for B2C and B2B operators.
Her expertise spans the entire lifecycle of gambling activities, from initial market
entry to maintaining compliant day-to-day operations.
She regularly advises international and local operators, software providers, affiliates, and ancillary service providers on the regulatory framework of the Romanian National Gambling Office (ONJN).
Her day-to-day engagements include managing licensing and authorization procedures, conducting compliance audits, and overseeing AML obligations, operational risk management, and responsible gambling requirements.
Complementing her regulatory focus, Ana Maria bridges the gap between legal
requirements and commercial growth in the gaming and gambling sector: she assists clients in structuring compliant business models, conducting deep-dive legal analyses of market operations, and drafting industry-specific contracts, while supporting the maintenance of compliant operations for companies active in this sector.
