The Janders Dean Team

Sydney – 4th – 5th July 2018
Our 10th #JDHorizons Sydney conference will welcome over 300 guests from top-tier law firms and is to be held at the characterful Pier One on Sydney Harbour.

BREAK THE LAW – MAKE THE LAW

“Everything at JD Horizons is about thinking differently,
doing things differently”

Janders Dean conferences differentiate themselves from the “same-old-same-old” static and stale conferences that have plagued the industry in the past, and from the hype events that measure success on the number of delegates, rather than the right delegates. We believe in devising conferences that actually inspire our delegates to apply new thinking to their roles and their firm. Our events are developed and planned not by a conference company with limited connections to the real world, but by our own team of expert global consultants and thought leaders who work day in and day out at the front lines of legal services transformation with our clients and emerging suppliers.

Our audience will, again be a deliberate mix of private practice lawyers, in-house legal champions, senior knowledge and technology personnel, representatives from the emerging and evolving areas of legal pricing, process improvement, project management and service delivery enhancement.

At Janders Dean we truly believe in our unique DNA and magic ingredients, and hope this will convince you to get involved

Let’s talk about people…

Speakers you won’t hear anywhere else until after they’ve spoken at #JDHorizons…

Once again we have assembled an all-star line-up of speakers from inside and outside legal to inspire and motivate our delegates. Below is a list of our London cohort of speakers, who will be joining the exclusive #JDHorizons speaking faculty.
