Privacy

Private Information. Public Consequences.

Privacy law sits at the intersection of personal rights, digital risk, and regulatory enforcement. We act for individuals, corporates, and public entities in complex disputes involving the use, disclosure, and protection of personal information. We have extensive experience in challenging and defending privacy claims in the Human Rights Review Tribunal, which is the primary forum for disputes of this kind.

We advise on:

  • Complaints under the Privacy Act 2020


  • Breaches of information privacy principles (IPPs)


  • Interference with privacy, including collection and disclosure claims


  • Access and correction requests


  • Public sector compliance with privacy obligations


  • Privacy Commissioner investigations and proceedings before the

  • Human Rights Review Tribunal


  • Overlaps between privacy, defamation, and confidentiality

Whether the issue arises from a data breach, surveillance, disclosure, or a high-profile complaint—we act with discretion, speed, and clarity. We are also experienced in acting for agencies under scrutiny, ensuring lawful processes are followed and reputation is protected.
