The law firm will be sponsoring the entire roster of Scottish Games Week events taking place across Scotland from 24 to 28 October.

Scottish Games Week is a world-first event created to highlight the talent and potential of Scotland’s gaming ecosystem. From design, development and publishing, to education and application, the week will showcase games and their role as Scotland’s secret weapon in the tech sector. The event will also act as a catalyst to support a more connected and collaborative games sector across Scotland, the UK and internationally.

Kirk Dailly, partner and head of corporate & commercial, Blackadders, said: “We are delighted to support the inaugural Scottish Games Week as gold sponsor and exclusive legal partner. It’s a natural fit for us as our Video Games team has a real passion for supporting developers and innovators across the industry, and over the years we have advised on a number of Scotland’s top video games deals. The programme looks very exciting and we can’t wait to play our part.”

Brian Baglow, founder of the Scottish Games Network and director of Scottish Games Week, said: “The global games market is one of the most dynamic and valuable in the world, with a value of over $200 billion in 2022. The tools and technologies from games are powering the current generation of Hollywood blockbusters and enabling the evolution of the metaverse and our digital future.

“Blackadders has established a strong presence within this rapidly evolving ecosystem and we were thrilled to welcome them on board as a sponsor. They bring enormous credibility and experience to the event and we’re delighted to have them involved in the programme.”
