Robert Todd

Robert is an Australian lawyer at Blake Dawson who (outside his engaging and challenging legal practice in media and IT disputes) is involved in the debate to improve press freedom in Australia. Robert believes the more freely we share our ideas the more functional our citizens and communities become. He was involved in the reform of our national defamation laws, acted for a grouping of international media companies in one of the first internet jurisdiction cases in the world which was heard by our High Court, in the cash for comment inquiry and as an advisor to the British Olympic team for the Sydney 2000. His other preoccupations and diversions include the work of the extraordinary women of the Kimberley, developing more “village pumps” to which people come to share, educate and learn small, the psychology of the performance of magic and the life and times of Nicolo Machiavelli. He has been recognised as a leader in his field by several local and international publications.
