In this Inside Sponsorship episode, we chat with Paula Robinson, Partner at MinterEllison, Head of Legal Gold Coast 2018 Commonwealth Games & Managing Practitioner at Bond Law Clinic.

 

Paula is a highly skilled general corporate and commercial lawyer but her primary area of practice is sports law. Paula provides some great advice and practical tips, for both brands and rights holders, to ensure that the whole process around sponsorship legalities runs as smoothly as possible.

 

Paula graduated first in class from her Juris Doctor law degree at Bond University and also holds an undergraduate Commerce Degree from Deakin University. In addition to her experience as a lawyer, Paula has over 12 years experience in executive management, marketing and business development roles.

 

If you wish to connect with Paula then you can do so on [LinkedIn](https://au.linkedin.com/in/paula-robinson-97b15131') or on the [Minter Ellison](http://www.minterellison.com) website.

 

Mark also joins us to discuss some of the key learnings around event sponsorship that he took away from recently attending the Leaders conference in London and we introduce Sam Irvine, our new Account Manager for Australia and New Zealand.

 

As always, if you have an idea for a topic, a segment, someone you’d like us to have on the show or just a question, then be sure to get in touch.

 

Enjoy.
