For our Legal Team, working at Tabcorp is anything but ordinary. Every day we navigate a complex and highly regulated environment, making decisions that shape our industry for the better – and that’s exciting!

• strong experience in technology, procurement, privacy and IP related matters;
• broad experience across a mix of transactional, advisory and dispute work;
• strong commercial nous and a practical understanding of technology led environments;
