Legal Procurement Forum Asia-Pacific 2017 – In review

The Legal Procurement Forum Asia-Pacific 2017 was held on 23rd August in Sydney at the beautiful offices of KPMG, hosts of this years event. To celebrate the event we have put together an infographic to capture the highlights.

Thank you to the key note speakers, including Dr. Silvia Hodges Silverstein (Buying Legal Council), Richard Stock (Catalyst Consulting) and Richard Burcher (Validatum), who each travelled long distances to participate and share their ideas and experiences.

Attending the event were:

• Senior in-house counsel and procurement professionals from ASX 20 through to ASX 200 companies, local, state and federal government organisations
• Partners, senior lawyers, pricing professionals and business development executives from top tier, mid tier and boutique law firms across Australia
• Leaders from alternative services providers
• Consultants to the legal industry.

The Legal Procurement Forum also generated media interest with coverage in The Australian Financial Review and The Australian.

Feedback from those who attended has been exceptional, these are few highlights:

“I was really impressed with the quality of the speakers and the event in general. Most importantly I have learnt so much and can honestly say it was an eye-opening experience. I am really looking forward to putting into practice some of my new knowledge and challenging my panel lawyers”
