Big firm expertise at a small firm price
I am a lawyer in Sydney, Australia. I practice in the areas of information technology, telecommunications and electronic commerce. I hold degrees in law and in mathematics. I enjoy some computer games. I was the web editor for the law firm Gilbert + Tobin. I have a strong belief in the need for equity.
I am also expecting the birth of my first child in March 2002 and we still
don’t have a name for it :-(
[June Update - his name is Søren Rufus.]
I'm not the guy who worked at Curtin Library in Perth, the character on Coronation Street, the Clinical Senior Lecturer, the fellow from NSW Agriculture, the guy who was on the ANU PARSA board, the character in Coronation Street, or the fellow who attended school without taking any sick days. To find some of these people search for me (err... them) on Google.
I can be contacted by email - but remember to remove the "NS" from the front of this address (it's to reduce the spam I receive).

Some things to know about buying a Car January 2002
I’ve written a number of papers on various areas relating to law. Most of these have been published on the site of Gilbert + Tobin. I have been known for my criticism of some Australian legislation relating to censor the internet. I have published a shyteload of articles mostly on issues relating to the internet and the law - ecommerce, copyright on the net, electronic bill payment, electronic document management, digital signatures, PKI, cybercrime, internet censorship etc etc. Click the link above to have a look.

Some letters I have written to newspapers (enough published):
Sydney Morning Herald (this link includes some places where I am quoted by them too). Unfortunately I have to pay them if I want to see my own letters. This seems a little odd to me.
Click here for some of the letters I have been able to find in my own archives.
Link Institute. I have been a member of the Link Institute on and off for some years. Some of my more memorable posts are here.
