Profile Graham Jefferson
Deutsche Bank, Australia

Graham Jefferson is a technology lawyer for Deutsche Bank for the Asia Pacific region. Graham joined Deutsche in London in 1999 as the bank’s first dedicated technology lawyer. In 2002 he returned to Australia but has recently relocated from Sydney to Singapore.

Graham has degrees in law and computer science and worked as an analyst programmer before passing over to the ‘dark side’. His honours thesis was on the topic of legal expert systems and he retains a strong interest in the automation of legal work.

In more than 10 years as an IT lawyer (most of that time at Deutsche Bank) Graham has seen Y2K threaten humanity and then pass with barely a murmur, eCommerce heralded as the new way of doing business only to crash miserably and offshore outsourcing predicted to be the end of employment in the services sector in the west.

He remains a healthy skeptic.

Today, Graham shares his thoughts on the infrastructure challenges facing multi-national banks operating BPOs.
