Not every platform has a large compliance department — yet regulatory demands continue to expand across safety, AI, competition, and privacy. Legal and compliance leaders must find ways to meet obligations with lean teams and constrained budgets. This session will explore practical strategies for prioritising risks, leveraging technology, and embedding compliance across the organisation to ensure resilience without overextending resources.

• Prioritising compliance risks and obligations to focus limited resources where they matter most
• Leveraging technology, automation, and external expertise to extend team capacity
• Embedding compliance responsibilities into wider business functions to reduce silos
• Building scalable frameworks that allow small teams to manage growing regulatory complexity

Over the past five years, Remedy Entertainment has undergone a major transformation - shifting from its heritage in single-player AAA titles to developing ambitious multiplayer experiences. With this evolution came the challenge of building legal and compliance processes from the ground up, in a sector increasingly shaped by complex and overlapping regulations. This case study will explore how Remedy has navigated the legal and operational demands of a fast-changing industry:

• Establishing compliance and governance frameworks from scratch to support multiplayer expansion
• Managing regulatory requirements unique to the gaming ecosystem, from data to online safety
• Addressing the challenges of outsourcing legal in a highly specialised, niche sector
• Preparing for and operationalising compliance with the EU AI Act
