All aboard with Ramparts

From Rampart’s new Newsletter:

Peter Howitt:

In addition to an excellent and growing team of lawyers, I am delighted that we now have 3 other Directors on our Board.

– David Abdoo joined us as a non-executive Director in December 2014. David used to be my boss as General Counsel & Company Secretary at PartyGaming Plc and has a wealth of experience at a senior strategic level (before PartyGaming he was General Counsel & Company Secretary at a major media company which became ITV plc)

– Emma Azopardi Lejeune joined us an executive Director in May 2015. Emma was a partner at Hassans where she formed part of the commercial / private client department. We are delighted that Emma has brought all of her professionalism and enthusiasm to task in growing our new private client, family office and fiduciary practice, in addition to supporting our growing corporate practice.

– Aaron Carpenter was also appointed as an executive Director in 2015. Aaron was previously head of legal at Gocompare.com and has a wealth of commercial and e-commerce law experience which he gained both in-house and in private practice. Aaron manages our commercial law practice teams in Gibraltar and the UK and now shares the lead with me in developing our cross-border e-gaming practice. Aaron also undertakes a wide range of work within our corporate practice.

We want to draw your attention to some key legal themes and events in 2015 and to look forward to developments in some key areas in 2016. We also include a recent article on crowdfunding ‘a new wave of disruption in private capital’ that you may find of interest – as part of our focus on writing articles highlighting interesting business opportunities and developments that have a legal and regulatory connection and with no legalese. As you can see in this article, in our view the impact of technology on a very wide range of service sectors and industries over the next 10 years can not be over-estimated, especially as so called ‘millennials’ embrace entrepreneurship and turn away from institutional finance.
