The legal finance industry is interesting, diverse and constantly changing.  We will speak each week to people involved in the legal finance industry to provide you with tips and tricks to accessing, obtaining and using legal finance.

In this sixth episode, we are excited to speak with Jonathon Hunyor, the CEO of the Public Interest Advocacy Centre, a social justice law and policy centre based in Sydney. 

Jonathon is an experienced lawyer, manager, strategic thinker and leader of diverse teams. He has practised law for 25 years in NSW and the Northern Territory, in areas including criminal law, discrimination and human rights, migration, refugee law and Aboriginal land rights.

Prior to joining PIAC in 2016, Jonathon was the Principal Legal Officer at the North Australian Aboriginal Justice Agency in Darwin; Director of Legal Services at the Australian Human Rights Commission; and worked as a lawyer at the Central Land Council in Alice Springs and the NT Legal Aid Commission in Darwin.

Jonathon is a Director of the Australian Pro Bono Centre, has taught discrimination law at the University of NSW and has published widely in academic and professional journals.

Jonathon has kindly agreed to join us today to talk all things PIAC.
