LawNet Annual Conference 2025

Friday 24th October
Inspirational leadership & strategy learning

In a fast-moving world where complexity, change, and challenge are the new constants, the real competitive advantage lies not in scale or systems, but in people. This year’s conference, From Potential to Impact: Empowering Performance at Every Level, brings together three thought-provoking speakers to explore how law firm leaders can unlock, energise, and sustain high performance across their organisations.

Greg Orme opens the day by looking at how human-centred leadership can build resilient, curious, and high-performing teams in the face of rapid change. He will explore the mindset shift required to lead with clarity and courage, helping firms become magnets for talent and innovation. Dr. Grace Lordan will then challenge us to move beyond “busyness” and build bold, intentional cultures where habits, not just goals, drive performance. Drawing on behavioural science, she offers practical tools to help teams work with greater focus and flow. Closing the day, James Kerr will bring his unique perspective from the world of elite sport and the All Blacks to highlight the power of purpose, humility, and collective identity in creating high-impact teams that win—and keep winning. Together, these sessions will leave delegates equipped and inspired to lead their people from potential to real, measurable impact.
