The UQ Law School has recently welcomed a new academic staff member, Lee Aitken, who joined the school as an Associate Professor on  Feb. 3.

Lee has more than 15 years of teaching experience and has held positions at the University of Alberta, the University of Sydney and the University of Hong Kong.

Between admission and 2005 he maintained a large and diverse commercial practice focused principally in the Equity and Commercial Lists of the Supreme Court, the NSW Court of Appeal, and the High Court of Australia, and in the Supreme Courts of other states and territories (particularly Queensland and the ACT), and the Federal Court of Australia.
