International Projects

Deacons' international projects team provides legal services, project management and consultancy advice on a wide range of aid projects in developing countries, often funded by bilateral or multilateral aid agencies. As well as advising on regulatory frameworks and policies, we contribute expertise in privatisation, commercialisation, corporatisation, drafting legislation, governance and training.

Our international team has strong capabilities in energy, resources, infrastructure, telecommunications and finance. In delivering project services, we often partner with specialist providers including economic consultants, project management companies and universities to complement Deacons' technical know-how in capacity building.

• Legal update: US FTA - stronger, longer copyright

  The United States Free Trade Agreement (“FTA”) heralds the most extensive changes to Australian copyright law in several years, extending the existing rights of copyright owners by providing stronger and longer protection to copyright works. The changes will also introduce some new rights and schemes that previously did not exist in Australian copyright law.
