About

A historic company with an important place in the history of broadcasting in Australia, the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC) is a government-owned entity that is predominantly known for its television and radio services, in addition to its provision of online and mobile services. One of the most notable legal teams to in the media sector in Australia, ABC’s legal team has seen a change of leadership, as internationally-focused media law expert Connie Carnabuci took over the general counsel role in July 2017. Her technical legal skills in the sector are supported by the vast experience that other legal team members already bring to the table. Senior lawyer Marcus Fowler, for instance, is a veteran of the company with a tenure of over eleven years, during which he has amassed a wealth of knowledge of broadcast rights and content agreements for the various arms of ABC. With technical legal knowledge and business know-how gained in a variety of key areas, the ABC legal team looks set to safeguard the future of the historic organisation for years to come.
