Building a people-first practice that performs
Join Sophie Svenson, Head of Marketing and Partnerships at VXT, for a private dinner and conversation with Tessa van Duyn, an award-winning CEO and Practice Leader at Moores, and a leader recognised for her people-first approach to business and the law.
With over 20 years of experience in public law and human rights, Tessa has built her career around people, justice, and equality. Just two weeks after joining Moores in March 2020, Melbourne went into lockdown, prompting her to lead a radical transformation of the firm overnight. As CEO, she’s shaped a workplace where purpose drives performance and everyone can bring their best to work. Under her leadership, Moores was named Employer of Choice at the 2023 Australian Law Awards, and Tessa received ALPMA’s Executive of the Year (2023) and Finalist in the Women in Law Awards Executive of the Year (2023).
This dinner is for law firm leaders ready to turn purpose into performance with ideas they can implement straight away.
We’ll cover:
- Leading cultural and technological change across generations
- Rolling out value-based pricing with confidence
- Turning firm values into everyday actions that drive performance
