Why this blog?

I am a banking and insolvency lawyer. I like nothing more than a transaction or a dispute involving financing or security. But my practice has evolved over the years in lockstep with the emergence of new technologies. This is partly out of interest and partly out of necessity, the need to stay busy and relevant, to know things that people will pay you to help them with.

It should be no surprise to see a banking and insolvency lawyer blogging on the topics covered on this site. When I started my career, the only private sector privacy lawyers in Australia were banking lawyers; banks had just started becoming like IT companies, and IT companies like banks.

The Shock of the New

In the nineteenth century trains were called “iron horses” and cars were called “horseless carriages”. Lawyers had to adapt the law to these new technologies. This they did. Today the convergence of banking and technology is all around us. What a great time to be a banking regulatory lawyer!
