Janders Dean Congratulates BAE Systems

Congratulations to Janders Dean client BAE Systems' global in-house legal team for being short-listed in tonight's award in London for In-House Commerce and Industry Team of the Year 2010 at The Lawyer Magazine's annual award event. You guys rock (and Sparkle)!

Big News From Autonomy

Chris Dale was first to draw our attention to this; however it now makes sense why we were missing a guest at our Royal Ascot event.

Autonomy have announced (via a short and almost coded press release on the London Stock Exchange site) that the company has received an order for its e-discovery and compliance solutions with an initial value of approximately $25 million over the next few years.

Rumour on Twitter has it that a very large petroleum company is behind the purchase.

Blow Your Vuvuzelas...Janders Dean Turns 75!

It is with great pleasure that we announce 2010 as the year Janders Dean turns 75!

Well, not really...that just happens to be the combined ages of Bevan and Justin this year as they both hit milestone birthdays; but it does makes for a good headline.

This year actually marks our third birthday here at Janders Dean, and we're still happy and healthy. With a growing list of clients in the APAC and UK regions, and a smattering of US firms joining the list this year, we are proud to continue our independence and thought leadership.

Our fabulous new clients this year have included Vodafone, Willmott Dixon and BAE Systems, while we've also continued to work with a number of our existing loyal customers including Freehills, Sparke Helmore, King and Wood, Hall & Wilcox, Barlow Lyde & Gilbert and many others (and more to come).

After a successful Law Firm Alternative Billing Breakfast Briefing at Becasse in Sydney last month, and a smashing first annual Janders Dean Royal Ascot Race Day in the UK last week, we'll be continuing the celebrations Sydney in August with a belated birthday bash for all our friends and family the week before our 3rd Annual Law Firm Knowledge Management Conference and Cocktail event.

We'll take this opportunity to thank all the groovy JD family members who make our lives a better place - Sparks, Bugs, the Sydney boys, the Brisbane girls, Tony & Bec, Nicole B, Gilly, Pedro C, and all our wonderful and loyal friends who are always patient, honest and supportive.

Here's to another 75 years!

HighQ Solutions Joins Janders Dean Law Firm Knowledge Management Conference (Sydney, 12th August 2010)

In line with Janders Dean's commitment to ensuring that our conference agenda includes globally recognised thought leaders, we are proud to announce that HighQ Solutions will be joining the faculty of the 3rd Annual Law Firm Knowledge Management Conference in Sydney (12th August 2010).

With a client list which includes all of the UK's Magic Circle firms, the team from HighQ Solutions are widely recognised as leaders in international law firm online innovation and knowledge platform development.

Director Stuart Barr will be travelling to Sydney from London to present and to provide delegates with an insight on global trends in knowledge management and related technology innovations.

As the team behind the award winning BLT Portal knowledge sharing and publication platform, HighQ Solutions are well positioned in this market, and we believe their presence will ensure that this year's event is the most informative and valuable knowledge sharing conference in the region.

Conference delegates will learn what law firms such as Allen & Overy, Linklaters, Clifford Chance, Freshfields, Simmons & Simmons, Herbert Smith and Norton Rose have been able to achieve in their online knowledge and collaboration strategies with the direct involvement from the HighQ Solution team.

The involvement of HighQ Solutions will also provide an insight into the various platforms that these firms (in addition to banks such as HSBC, Barclays, Credit Suisse, UBS, Deutsche Bank, and Citi) utilise for knowledge management, collaborative sharing, and content publishing purposes.

We welcome the inclusion of Stuart and the team from HighQ Solutions in the Janders Dean event, and we are excited by this latest edition to the conference faculty.
