My experience working closely with businesses has made me increasingly interested in the questions that sit beyond individual transactions and legal advice. What happens when technology develops faster than the law? How should regulators respond to business models that did not exist when existing laws were written? How should courts apply established legal principles to fundamentally new technologies? And how do we balance innovation with accountability, competition, consumer protection and individual rights? These are some of the questions that led me to create Tech Policy Law.
Why I created Tech Policy Law
I created Tech Policy Law as an independent, community-led thought and policy initiative focused on the intersection of technology, law and policy. Artificial intelligence, digital platforms, data-driven businesses, cybersecurity, emerging technologies and new digital markets are creating legal and regulatory questions at a pace that traditional frameworks often struggle to match. I wanted a platform where these developments could be examined before the answers become settled. Technology law should not simply be about understanding what the law currently says. It should also involve asking whether the existing framework remains appropriate, what new challenges technology creates, and what the law and policy should look like going forward.
My professional perspective
My work at Trailblazer gives me the opportunity to see technology and regulation not only as academic or policy questions, but as practical issues faced by businesses every day — navigating evolving regulation while building products, entering markets, raising capital, managing contracts, protecting intellectual property and adopting new technologies. That practical perspective influences how I approach Tech Policy Law: not only what the law is, but how it works in practice, what businesses and individuals experience on the ground, and what regulation could mean for innovation and markets. At the same time, Tech Policy Law is intended to be broader than my professional practice — a space for independent thinking and engagement with ideas from across the technology, legal and policy ecosystem.
What I want to build
I do not want Tech Policy Law to be just another website that reports technology-law developments. I want to bring together perspectives from lawyers, policymakers, researchers, students, technology professionals, entrepreneurs and others who are closely engaged with technological change. Some of the most interesting technology-policy questions emerge when different disciplines meet, and I want this to be a space where those perspectives can interact.
What I explore
My interests span a broad range of issues at the intersection of technology, law and policy: artificial intelligence and emerging technology — AI regulation, generative AI, copyright, AI liability, governance, safety, transparency and responsible innovation; technology and digital regulation — data protection, cybersecurity, intermediary regulation, digital platforms, online services, technology contracts and the evolving regulatory environment for technology businesses; digital markets and competition — platform regulation, market power, consumer protection and the challenges that digital business models present to traditional competition frameworks; and broader technology policy questions about how governments regulate emerging technologies, how regulation affects innovation, and how technological development affects society.
My editorial approach
I want Tech Policy Law to encourage writing that goes beyond headlines and examines the underlying legal, technological and policy questions. I value independent perspectives, including those that challenge prevailing views, while seeking to make complex technology-law issues accessible to readers from different professional backgrounds. The platform prioritises original thinking, research and meaningful analysis, with an emphasis on emerging issues and the questions technology may create for law and policy in the future.
A community-led initiative
Although I founded and edit Tech Policy Law, I do not see it as a personal blog or a single-author publication. I want it to develop into a community-led platform for technology-law and policy thinking, with contributions from lawyers, academics, researchers, policymakers, technology professionals, entrepreneurs and others who have a meaningful perspective to share — original analysis, legal commentary, case analysis, regulatory developments, policy perspectives, research and informed opinion. I am particularly interested in ideas that challenge established thinking, identify emerging issues, or connect technological developments with legal and policy questions that have not yet received sufficient attention.
Join the conversation
Many of the most important technology-law questions of our time are still being formed. Technology is evolving, law is evolving, regulation is evolving, and our understanding of how technology should interact with society is evolving with them. If you are working on, researching or thinking deeply about an issue at this intersection, I would like to hear from you.
