PARTY POKER GOES IN-HOUSE ON LEGAL
New legal staffer joins Gibraltar staff
One of the many interesting delegates at the recent eCOGRA training course on responsible gambling held in London was a bright, attractive woman called Victoria Allison, a lawyer who had just joined the legal team at Party Gaming's head office in Gibraltar.
Her appointment, confirmed this week in The Lawyer by Party Gaming assistant general counsel James Elliot, reflects a fresh attitude to matters legal as Party Gaming does away with much of its outsourcing in favour of a more in-house approach.
The legal team are key in the strategies of a management that has recently conducted in-depth talks with US enforcement authorities regarding the firm's potential liability under American anti-online gambling laws. Speculation has intensified based on rumours that chief executive Mitch Garber has crossed the Atlantic in recent weeks for face-to-face talks.
Party Gaming was among the first to exit the US market when the UIGEA was passed late in 2006, and took a serious financial and business hit in so doing.
Allison was previously with IWC Media and will be a strong member of the Party Gaming team in Gibraltar, where her husband is based as a member of the Royal Navy.
James Elliot told The Lawyer: "The aim is to bring in some new commercially minded assistance able to share some of the everyday workload so that we can limit our outsourcing only to where there's a requirement for specialist knowledge that it does not make sense to retain in-house."
