Thomson Reuters is pleased to announce the appointment of Lynden Griggs as a brand new Consumer Issues Section Editor for Property Law Review. As part of an ongoing enhancement project, we are commissioning a range of new sections to bring subscribers property law insights from academics and practitioners around Australia and internationally.

Lynden Griggs is a Senior Lecturer at the University of Tasmania Faculty of Law. Lynden came to academia from private practice. He is admitted as a Barrister and Solicitor of the Supreme Courts of Tasmania and the Federal Courts of Australia (including the High Court of Australia) and has been an accredited mediator. He completed a research masters in corporate law, and from this his early work in academia was focussed in corporate law, as well as occupying a number of administrative positions including Associate Academic Dean, Chair of Publications and editorship of the Journal of Law, Information and Science.

After establishing his teaching credentials with this culminating in Fellowship of the Higher Education Research and Development Society of Australasia, Lynden has built an enviable research profile with the current focus being in the area of consumer protection and land law. He is regularly invited to review articles for peer-reviewed journals, and has acted as a doctorate and masters examiner on many occasions. He is a long-term member of the Australian Law Teachers Association, and is currently a member of the Corporate Law Teachers Association, Real Property Teachers Association and the Australian and New Zealand Sports Law Association. He has undertaken a number of consultancies for private entities, specifically in the area of corporate law or land law, and is a regular contributor to government reform inquiries.

He is currently the Associate Editor of the Competition and Consumer Law Journal and sits on the editorial board of the Australian and New Zealand Trade Practices Law Bulletin. 

We are delighted to have Lynden join the editorial team and are confident subscribers will benefit greatly from his insights.
