New Zealand lawyer Robert Miller has been appointed Chief Legal Draftsperson in the Attorney-General’s Chambers.
Miller was admitted as a Barrister and Solicitor in Auckland in 1965 and over a professional career of 45 years, developed a substantial legal practice that included legal drafting, law review, and law reform.
He has worked in a number of different jurisdictions around the world, including New Zealand, the Cook Islands, Bermuda and Malaysia and for 23 years he worked at different times for the New Zealand, Northern Territory (Australia), Hong Kong and Brunei governments.
From 2000 to 2006 he worked for the Ministry of Finance in Brunei where he was the Head of Supervision and was responsible for drafting a number of important laws for which he received an award from the Sultan of Brunei.
Before being offered the position of Chief Legal Draftsperson and moving to Fiji, Miller worked as a Barrister in New Zealand doing mainly advisory and international and trust financial work.
Solicitor General Christopher Pryde said the Attorney General’s Chambers is fortunate to have such a highly qualified and experienced lawyer to join the legal drafting team.
“….we all look forward to working with him,” Pryde said.
