Mr Blyth brings to the firm a wealth of experience in the insurance sector where he specialised in digital governance, risk, regulator interaction, data protection and privacy.

Mr Blyth’s appointment is the latest in Dentons’ consolidation of its regulatory and compliance offering.

Commenting on the appointment, Dentons’ Australia region chair and Australasia chief executive Doug Stipanicev said: “Toby’s appointment continues to expand our ability to meet our clients’ needs, by ensuring we have talented individuals who are leaders in their areas of practice, where our clients need them.

“The growth of our national offering over the course of the last year has been nothing short of extraordinary.”

Commenting on his new role, Mr Blyth said: “Global regulatory trends are predictive of the priorities for Australian regulators.

“The breadth and depth of the worldwide Dentons network will be invaluable to me in providing local and global clients with analysis and advice on current and emerging risks.”

The appointment of Mr Blyth was announced on the same day when Jill Milburn commenced her partnership with Dentons; she was appointed on 15 September 2022.
