Course Author: Dr Allison Stanfield
Allison is a lawyer specialising in commercial and technology law at SG Legal. Allison’s commercial law skills are enhanced by her entrepreneurial endeavours, having set up and run businesses, and her technology law skills stem from her years advising clients in computer forensics and electronic litigation.
In 1999, Allison founded e.law, a niche legal technology business, which she started when this unique field was first emerging. Using her background as a lawyer and former court Registrar, Allison focused on the legal and technology components of the business to build, and eventually sell, the business. During her time with e.law, Allison ran a number of large e.trials and e.discovery matters including the HIH Royal Commission, the Oil for Food Inquiry, the Air Cargo litigation and the Channel 7 v News Limited trial, to name a few. Allison also consulted to courts and tribunals on the implementation of technology, including the Federal Court of Australia and several state Supreme Courts.
Upon completion of the sale of e.law, Allison took over as Director and General Manager of Base Services Australia, where she used her business skills to improve operations and implement technology initiatives.
In 2015, Allison gained her PhD in the authentication of electronic evidence, and continues to write and publish on the topic.
