​Join Sophie Svenson, host of the File Notes podcast, for an evening with Tony Bleasdale, an experienced legal tech and strategy advisor who’s spent the past 20 years helping major law firms across Australia, New Zealand, the USA, and the United Kingdom navigate digital transformation.

​This evening is an invite-only event for ambitious law firm leaders who are seeking practical ideas they can apply in their firms. We’ll cover:

​What Law Firms Can Learn from NZ’s AML Journey

With Tranche 2 AML legislation approaching, law firms are under pressure to adapt. Drawing on lessons from New Zealand, where full compliance often took years to achieve, we’ll explore what firms need to do now to prepare, from assigning ownership to selecting the right intake and compliance tools.

How to get your team using the tech you invest in

Firms are investing more in technology than ever, but adoption is difficult. Drawing on his experience working with firms and legal tech partners across Australia, New Zealand, the United States, and the United Kingdom, Tony will share what helps teams embrace new systems and technology.

Attracting and retaining top talent

It’s a competitive hiring market, and the next generation of lawyers are looking for more than just salary. We’ll explore what attracts top candidates today, with insights from Tony’s work with purpose-led firms involved in initiatives like the So They Can foundation, and how that translates into a stronger culture, recruitment, and brand reputation.

​We’ll also hear from VXT CEO Luke Campbell, whose company is growing 10% month-on-month, on how VXT approaches recruitment and retention differently, including bold moves like pay transparency and 5% salary increases every six months.
