Sydney-based Truman Hoyle has appointed telecommunications and technology lawyer Richard Pascoe to its leadership team. Pascoe, who was a partner at Gilbert + Tobin for 10 years and has almost two decades of experience in the Information Technology and Telecommunications (IT&T) sector, will head up the firm’s media and content practice under the title of special counsel. Pascoe has also previously worked for and in a number of local and international IT&T companies including Batelco, a Bahrain Telecommunications company.

Truman Hoyle managing partner Shane Barber said Pascoe’s expertise both in private practice and his experience as in-house counsel in the sector brings additional depth to the firm. “His regional experience in telecommunications, technology and new media is a particular asset as much of our work has an Asia Pacific focus for global clients,” said Barber.

Pascoe said he was drawn to Truman Hoyle by the firm’s growing reputation as the specialist firm in his field. “We are experiencing unprecedented levels of regulatory change thanks to technological advances and content convergence. Truman Hoyle is well positioned to provide the legal, policy and regulatory advice that the key players need in order to flourish in the regional IT&T and new media ecosystem,” he said.
