Stephanie Wee

Stephanie Wee cares deeply about social justice and wants to change the world. It’s hard to imagine when looking out over Sydney Harbour from her office in the corporate law firm Gilbert and Tobin, but the corporate world has allowed her to take on incredible pro bono legal work.

Recently, she was part of journalist Peter Greste’s legal team. Before that she worked on a huge action on behalf of Aboriginal workers, taking on the government for unpaid wages.

Her biggest triumph might have come earlier, in her twenties, working on Slobodan Milošević’s trial at the Hague, known as “the trial of the century.” She speaks to Josh Nicholas.
