Jessica Zama was educated in an international school in Italy and completed her higher education in the UK, graduating from the University of Durham in 2005 with a law degree and then completing her professional qualification at the College of Law in Guildford in 2006.
She worked for the leading Surrey and South-East law firm, TWM Solicitors, in both their Guildford and Wimbledon offices from 2007 to 2011, both as a trainee Solicitor and then after her qualification as a Solicitor. Representing individuals, companies, charities and trusts, she gained a wide range of experience in civil litigation and advocacy in the High Court and County Court, in matters including conveyancing, commercial property, debt recovery, shareholders’ disputes, probate, personal injury claims, intellectual property, insolvency and Landlord and Tenant law. She was also involved in extensive pre-contentious work and dispute resolution.
