Chambers and Partners has named WH Partners’ Olga Finkel and James Scicluna among the world’s top 50 gaming and gambling lawyers after an independent review.

After having been consistently ranked in this category since 2011, Chambers and Partners has just released its 2013 ranking placing Dr Finkel in the top 24 global gaming and gambling lawyers.

“Dr Finkel is widely recognised as one of the standout gaming lawyers in Malta, which is a key jurisdiction for gaming,” Chambers and Partners said. “In addition to her considerable presence there, she also has strong connections in eastern Europe.”

Dr Scicluna is a new entry to the top 50 in the category having returned to private practice in 2012 after four years as general counsel and chief of regulatory and corporate affairs with a European online gaming operator. He was described by Chambers and Partners as being highly valued by clients for his business-minded approach and commercial expertise.

Chambers and Partners has been researching the legal markets of over 180 countries since 1999. They identify the leading lawyers and law firms worldwide through interviews with thousands of lawyers and their clients.

WH Partners was established in 2012, a natural progression of WH Law which was founded in Malta by Dr Finkel in 2006.
