In conversation with Cameron Whittfield, Partner - Herbert Smith Freehills

Through the Ninian Stephen Law Program: New Legal Thinking for Emerging Technologies, the Menzies Foundation are building capacity in the legal profession to provide effective responses to the challenges of emerging technology. It brings together leaders from the legal profession and business, along with engineers, computer scientists and technology specialists, from both the private and public sectors in a program of research, collaboration, dissemination, teaching and engagement.

This initiative is supported by an outstanding advisory board, comprised of Australian experts in the law, technology and ethics. And today I'm absolutely delighted to welcome Cam Whitfield, our very esteemed chair of the advisory board. Cam is a partner at help at Herbert Smith Freehills, specializing in digital law, cyber security and emerging technologies, and an honorary senior fellow and lecture at the Melbourne Law school. Prior to going back to private practices this year, Cam was a partner at PWC, focusing on digital and technology, cyber security and digital trust.
