Eliza Mik has worked in-house in a number of software companies, Internet start-ups
and telecommunication providers in Poland, Malaysia and Australia, mainly advising on
e-commerce and software licensing. Throughout her professional career Eliza maintained a
keen interest in all developments (both legal and technical) pertaining to the Internet
and its use as an enabler of commerce. Those interests resulted in the 2007 thesis
“Contract Formation in Open Electronic Networks.” She has spent two years advising a
newly formed telecommunication company in the United Arab Emirates. Her work consisted in
drafting and negotiating agreements for the design, acquisition and operation of ICT
infrastructure, as well as advising on the legal aspects of PKI, VoIP, data protection
and provider liability. After joining SMU in 2010, Eliza continued her research into the
regulation of e-commerce and the contractual aspects of Internet-based transactions.
