IP and technology expert joins Zammit & Associates law firm

Jackie Scerri has joined the Zammit & Associates – Advocates team as associate within the firm’s practice areas of e-commerce, igaming, technology, media and telecommu­nications, intellectual property and competition law.

After obtaining her Doctorate of Laws at the University of Malta in 1999, Dr Scerri began her career as a litigation lawyer, gaining extensive experience in civil, commercial and insurance litigation, while retaining a substantial practice in intellectual property matters, particularly relat­ing to issues of information technology.

In 2005 she pursued her legal studies at Queen Mary and Westfield College, University of London, in communications, computer and competition law. Since then, she has advised clients on matters relating to information technology, telecom­mu­nications, broadcasting, data protection, intellectual property, electronic commerce, remote gaming and internet-related issues.

Until this year, Dr Scerri was also engaged as senior legal advisor and manager at the Malta Commu­nications Authority, which further galvanised her experience within the telecommunications sector.

Within this role, she was extensively involved in policy planning and implementation of issues, including next generation networks, spectrum management, redundancy of international con­nec­tivity, access and intercon­nection, mobile virtual network operators, and competition-related matters.

Dr Scerri also advised and drafted legislation for other Commonwealth countries, and has organised several training workshops.
