do law differently

motivating people into action

For me, being a speaker is about turning ideas into practical steps to help motivate people into action. My presentations are full of stories and practical tips and are delivered with passion.

I love to speak about law firm innovation, legal practice management and operations, leadership culture and the career/family juggle.

Current range of presentations

This list showcases my current range of speaker topics, all of which can be delivered as keynote presentations or workshops. 

It's Time To Do Law Differently: How to Reshape Your Firm and Regain Your Life

Based on my book, this keynote presentation is designed to help law firm leaders cut through the noise about legal innovation and develop a strategy for their firm.

There's no denying that the legal profession is changing. Now more than ever is the time to challenge conventional thinking and come up with better ways to do business. There's lots of talk about why we need to change, but far less about how to actually do it. My presentation offers a six-step blueprint to transform your firm, regain control of your business and achieve greater success on every level.

Practical, engaging and inspiring, this presentation will leave you knowing not only what to do, but, more importantly, how to do it.

Productise and Profit!

This presentation will help you understand the journey to create a productised eco-system that lets you simplify your business, escape the billable hour and do more of what you love.

Lucy Dickens is a lawyer and innovator who has a passion for finding ways to work more effectively. She shares her enthusiasm and experience generously through her speaking and teaching roles. Lucy carefully crafts her messaging so as to best engage her audience and leave them not just knowing but also understanding how to “do law differently”. I’ve had the pleasure of seeing Lucy deliver both face-to-face conference presentations and live streamed webinars. She is a confident presenter with an excellent command of her content, an impressive arsenal of practical examples and, of course, a professional delivery style.

Lucy is an energetic facilitator with great presence. She engaged a room of 30 lawyers, across different practice areas and a big age range – she had the room buzzing, which was impressive. Her presentation was very well structured and her material was beautifully presented. She is very authentic in her delivery and was lovely to deal with before and after her session. I would highly recommend her for facilitation or speaking engagements.
Carmen MaughanSenior Professional Development Officer, The Law Society of Western Australia
Lucy Dickens is a practically focussed speaker who has delivered presentations of a very high standard to legal practitioners enrolled at the College of Law WA Legal Practice Management Course, law students and law graduates associated with the College. Lucy has an engaging, insightful and inspiring speaking style and she works hard to ensure that she understands the brief and delivers within required timeframes.
Michelle HarriesAssistant Director, College of Law
The thing I love about Lucy’s presentations is that they are usually grounded by a framework that leads to an identifiable goal. With a calm, measured delivery style, Lucy walks her audience through clear, practical strategies and explains how they can be used to achieve a tangible business outcome. Lucy uses relatable analogies and real life examples, and her ideas make me feel like I can take control of my business. I always look out for Lucy’s seminars, as I know that they are an investment that will bring genuine returns.
Gemma NugentDirector, SoundLegal
I found Lucy’s presentations (and her book) very common sense, direct and refreshingly understandable. Her progressive ideas make a lot of sense, and I am applyinging them in my legal practice where I can. Lucy has a clear vision of how law firms can make effective change to improve processes, save time and allow greater work life balance. I like her client focussed approach looking to solve the client’s issues rather than provide legal services, a subtle but important distinction.
