Background

About Hamza Hameed

I am a Pakistani qualified lawyer with an Advanced LLM from Leiden University in Air and Space Law. I am the Head of Space & Development at Access Partnership in Singapore where I support governments and the private sector with issues related to space policy, law, and regulation. Prior to this, I worked as a Legal Consultant at UNIDROIT in Rome where I primarily worked on international secured transactions law reform projects, as well as UNIDROIT's instruments on law and technology. I led UNIDROIT's work on the implementation and advancement of the Space Protocol of the Cape Town Convention and assisted in furthering the implementation of other Protocols such as the one for Mining, Agriculture and Construction (MAC) equipment. Additionally, I also led UNIDROIT's project on Digital Assets and Private Law and managed the Cape Town Convention Academic Project and the UNIDROIT Foundation. I also coordinated UNIDROIT’s digital and social media presence. I volunteer with the Space Generation Advisory Council, where I served as the National Point of Contact for Pakistan from 2016-2020, General Counsel from 2020-2022, and as the elected Chair of the entire organisation from 2022-2024. I specialise in Secured Transactions Law, Aircraft Financing, Space Financing and Space Law & Policy, and Law and Technology. I possess strong legal writing and research capabilities alongside excellent management skills as evidenced by my many publications and my varied work experience.
