Peter Leonard
Peter works in G+T’s TMT and Project Services Team.
Peter joined the iappANZ Board reflecting his belief that Privacy by Design principles, the regulatory push for more transparent collection statements and other privacy terms, cloud computing and the growth of data analytics in all fields of businesses have made privacy and data law and regulation an integral part of commercial deal structuring and contracting. Regulatory and compliance activities remain core for many privacy professionals, but many privacy experts are also increasingly called upon for input into business deals where data use and handling is a significant driver of deal value. Peter believes that iappANZ’s focus will also need to reflect these shifts, continuing to educate and drive best practice in compliance, but also the role of privacy professionals in value adding in commercial deals.
His primary practice focus is commercial and corporate transactions for corporations active in the technology, media, communications and internet business fields. Peter has an active transactional and regulatory practice centred upon complex technology, media and content deals in the Asia Pacific region. As G+T’s lead privacy partner, Peter also advises service providers and corporations on privacy related matters.

Peter has acted as global chair of the technology committee of the International Bar Association (IBA) and vice chair of the IBA's communications committee. Peter was a member of the Australian Attorney-General's expert group on electronic commerce, which issued the report leading to the Australian Electronic Transactions Act.
Peter is 2013 national chair of the Law Council of Australia's media and communications committee and a member of the Advisory Board of the Centre for Media and Telecommunications Law at the University of Melbourne.
