As always, the very well-attended ILANZ Conference 2023 held in Tauranga on 27 and 28 July provided a range of interesting and relevant speakers including Justice Whata speaking on tikanga issues, Diana Voerman-Tam from RBNZ speaking about lessons learned from a data breach and guest presenters including Dame Susan Devoy and journalist Jehan Casinader providing fascinating insights on thriving through multiple careers and seeking common ground respectively.
New Zealand Asian Lawyers Inc. Secretary Takeshi Ito attended and was a finalist for the ComplyWith Community Contribution Award having been nominated by NZAL President Mai Chen. Takeshi was pleased to meet with a number of Asian lawyers working in house who were aware of the work being done by NZAL and were very supportive. We encourage Asian in-house lawyers to join New Zealand Asian Lawyers Inc. and contribute to raising issues relevant to this important sector of the legal profession.
