About Us

The Baker & McKenzie Cyberspace Law and Policy Centre at UNSW Faculty of Law provides a focus for research, public interest advocacy and education on issues of law and policy concerning digital transactions in cyberspace. It is a Centre of the Faculty of Law at the University of New South Wales in Sydney, Australia. Its principal sponsors are the local and global partners of Baker & McKenzie, a leading international law firm. The Centre's work covers e-commerce, provision of government services by Internet, Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) and the use of encryption, Internet governance, intellectual property in digital artifacts, decision-making technologies in public administration, privacy and freedom of information in digital records, to name only the most obvious issues. Much of the Centre's work concerns Australian law and policy, but there is also an important focus on the development of cyberspace regulation in Asia, the fastest growing part of cyberspace's 'terrestrial footprint'.
