Michael Stojanovic

I'm a Special Counsel in the Corporate Group based in our Sydney office, with a focus on delivering strategic legal advice to clients in the Technology & Communications and Financial Services sectors. With close to two decades of experience working in, and providing advice to, high technology industries, I bring a valuable blend of technical acumen and legal insight. I began my professional career as a computer programmer before changing to law in 2005, giving me a sector-side perspective on Australia's complex information technology landscape.

I advise on both traditional information technology services and emerging digital platforms. My technical background enables me to guide clients through the legal intricacies of these fast-evolving areas with clarity and confidence. In the fintech space, I specialise in non-cash payment systems and their regulatory frameworks. I also have expertise in blockchain, digital currencies, and next-generation financial technologies. I deliver commercially pragmatic and technically sound advice that helps clients stay ahead of the curve.

I also draft and negotiate commercial agreements and support clients through government and private sector procurement processes, helping large organisations meet the demands of the digital economy. I'm energised by the intersection of law and tech innovation, and I take pride in helping clients bring transformative products and services to market.
