Why Midnite?
Midnite is a next-generation betting platform that is built for today’s fandom. We are a collective of engineers and designers who all share a passion for sports and gaming. We exist to bring fans closer to the games they love through the rush of winning money.
Unlike the alternatives, Midnite doesn’t feel like a website built two decades ago. Instead, it’s a cutting-edge creation, designed and constructed from the ground up with the latest technologies. Crafting an experience that’s truly intuitive, immersive, and immediately understandable is no walk in the park, but we thrive on the challenge. We believe we’re on the brink of creating something truly awesome.

Entity Management & Structuring
- Support on corporate matters, including new entity setup and governance
- Assist with cap table changes, share option schemes, and board reporting
- Play a key role in legal work related to fundraising, M&A, or cross-border structuring
External Counsel Management
- Be the primary liaison for all outsourced legal work
- Work with specialist firms (e.g. regulatory, employment, IP)
- Scope, brief and manage external projects to ensure quality and efficiency
Legal Ops & Strategy
- Build scalable legal processes and documentation (e.g. playbooks, guidance notes, FAQs)
