Former Entain Executives Sue Over Privileged Information Disclosures

Former Entain executives Kenny Alexander and Lee Feldman are suing the gambling company and its law firm Addleshaw Goddard (AG) for allegedly disclosing privileged information during a Deferred Prosecution Agreement (DPA) related to bribery allegations in Turkey. The lawsuit, filed in London's High Court, claims that the executives had joint privilege over legal advice provided by AG, and they seek access to documents shared with prosecutors during the investigation. Entain has dismissed the claims as meritless and plans to contest them vigorously, amid ongoing leadership turmoil following CEO Gavin Isaacs' abrupt resignation. This legal battle highlights deeper corporate governance issues within Entain, further compounded by the uncertainty surrounding its executive team. The executives argue that their access to legal advice has been unjustly denied, prompting them to pursue this legal course. They previously filed a complaint against the UK Gambling Commission for allegedly revealing private information during their failed leadership bid with 888.
