Partner

Campbell is a commercial, technology and privacy lawyer. He provides advice on procurement, privacy and data protection, IT agreements (including SaaS, agile and waterfall software development, and traditional licensing), IP licensing and consumer and marketing law compliance.

He has experience developing contract templates and document suites, working closely with in-house counsel and commercial and operational teams to produce user-friendly documentation and guidance that can be easily automated.

Campbell has advised numerous clients on compliance with privacy and data protection law, including the implications of the introduction of the European General Data Protection Regulation (‘GDPR’) for clients based both within and outside the EU, and the implications of New Zealand privacy law reforms.

Having worked both in the United Kingdom and in New Zealand, Campbell has experience with multi-jurisdictional issues. He has been involved in global product launches and has coordinated advice from lawyers from across the globe, in order to deliver to the end client a consistent and accurate brief of legal issues affecting each market.

Campbell takes an active interest in the development of privacy and consumer law in New Zealand and the intersection of privacy law and technology. He was the co-author of the firm's submissions on the Privacy Bill and recent amendments to the Fair Trading Act extending the application of the unfair contract terms regime to B2B contracts, and presented those submissions to the Justice Committee on the firm's behalf.

Campbell has a keen interest in the use of legal technology, including contract automation tools.
