Caroline graduated from Auckland University with a BCom/LLB. Caroline’s work reflects the convergence of technology, and the increasing importance, and intertwining, of IP and TMT.
Caroline specialises in IP and media law, and works closely with clients that are in, and that regularly do business with, the software, technology, telecommunications and media industries. Caroline has a background in technology, having studied information systems academically. She also presents on technology security issues to other lawyers, to upskill them on their own security practices, and to enable them to offer advice to their own clients on cyber-security issues.
