Following a strong debut scheduled for 21 April 2026 in Vilnius, and ahead of the Tallinn edition later in the series, HIPTHER Baltics: Riga reinforces HIPTHER’s commitment to locally rooted, high-level dialogue across the Baltic region, bringing regulatory, legal, fintech, and gaming stakeholders together around the topics that matter most.

A strategic fit: Lex Legas

Lex Legas is a boutique legal consultancy and research-driven legal brand specialising in iGaming, fintech, payments, AML/CTF, and cross-border regulatory frameworks, with a strong focus on Baltic, EU, and high-risk jurisdictions.

Combining hands-on legal practice with regulatory research and strategic advisory, Lex Legas works closely with operators, payment providers, software suppliers, and international consultants active in regulated and semi-regulated markets. Their expertise spans:

• iGaming & betting regulation (EU & non-EU jurisdictions)
• AML/CTF frameworks, risk assessments, and compliance structuring
• Payment solutions, PSP integrations, and fintech regulatory analysis
• Licensing, corporate structuring, and operational legal support
• Regulatory trends, enforcement practices, and supervisory expectations
• Cross-border legal risk management for high-risk business models

Lex Legas operates at the intersection of law, compliance, business strategy, and technology, translating complex regulatory requirements into practical, business-oriented solutions. The firm brings together a new generation of lawyers from the high-risk sector, recognised for tackling complex regulatory and operational challenges where standard approaches fall short.

“At Lex Legas, we work daily at the intersection of regulation, technology, and high-risk business models, exactly where today’s iGaming, fintech, and payments industries are being shaped.

HIPTHER Baltics stands out as a rare platform that goes beyond surface-level discussions and creates space for real, jurisdiction-specific conversations around compliance, licensing, player protection, and operational risk.

Partnering with HIPTHER for the Baltics series feels like a natural extension of our mission: translating complex regulatory frameworks into practical, business-ready solutions. We’re excited to contribute our research-driven perspective and hands-on experience to the dialogue in Vilnius, Riga, and Tallinn, and to help shape meaningful cross-border discussions across the region in 2026,” said the legal experts of Lex Legas team.

HIPTHER Baltics 2026: Three capitals, one vision

The HIPTHER Baltics series brings HIPTHER’s signature focus on regulation, compliance, fintech, and innovation to the heart of the Baltic region through three targeted, one-day conferences each hosted in a Baltic capital and built around locally-relevant themes with regional and cross-border impact.

“HIPTHER Baltics is built as a focused conference series for the region — not just a one-off event. From Vilnius to Riga and Tallinn, our goal is to create a high-level platform where regulators, legal experts, fintech leaders, and gaming stakeholders can connect around the real topics shaping the market: compliance, licensing, payments, player protection, and cross-border operations.

That’s why partnering with Lex Legas feels like a perfect match. Their research-driven approach and hands-on expertise in iGaming, fintech, and regulatory frameworks across the Baltics and beyond bring exactly the depth and clarity we want to deliver through the entire series. We’re proud to welcome them as a Strategic Partner and look forward to building meaningful, practical conversations together in 2026.”
