About the Hub
The goals of NENA’s Legal Hub are to:
- Support the development of legal expertise and legal services that can support people in the new economy, by:
- enabling legal practitioners, legal students and members of NENA to meet via the internet or in person, to discuss legal and governance issues
- research and understand barriers to the provision of appropriate legal services for people and organisations in the new economy
- Build the capacity of NENA to develop law reform proposals as/when appropriate and coordinate the development of effective law reform proposals by NENA as a whole
- Work with other NENA Hubs to share ideas, collaborate and develop initiatives that support the New Economy
- Provide input into network-wide strategies for building NENA and building the New Economy in Australia
