Following a nomination by the Australian government, Dentons partner Donald Robertson has commenced a three-year term as the UNIDROIT correspondent for Australia — in the two key commercial areas of International Commercial Contract Law and Transnational Civil Procedure.

 
 

Originally formed as an organisation of the League of Nations, UNIDROIT is now an intergovernmental organisation responsible for a large number of international agreements and conventions in the commercial area. UNIDROIT’s objective is to harmonise international private law across countries through uniform rules and the production of model laws, sets of principles, guides and guidelines.

Commenting on the appointment, Dentons Australia chair and Australasia region chief executive Doug Stipanicev said that the firm “could not be more delighted to congratulate Donald on this unique and prestigious position within UNIDROIT, which reflects Donald as a leader in his field”.
