Justin Quill, Partner, Thomson Geer
A self-confessed media junkie, Justin has always had a keen interest in journalism and the media, almost becoming a journalist himself. Now he not only advises on every aspect of media, but is called on as an expert commentator. Thrust into a senior role early in his career, Justin has gained experience in media law that is beyond his 20 plus year career length. However, knowing the law is one thing; Justin’s ability to know how to utilise this knowledge is what really sets him apart. His passion for free speech motivates him to work hard for his clients and his love of the subject means he has developed a deep understanding of the importance of his clients’ right to publish. This makes him the choice of high profile clients and organisations when these principles and livelihoods are at stake. Justin is Ranked Band 1, Chambers Global for 14 years straight.
