Judy Lane

A trained barrister, Judy Lane set up JLC in 1998 on leaving the International Bar Association where, as Conference Director, she ran the IBA 's extensive conference and seminar programme for fifteen years. She is still responsible, in a consultancy capacity, for their major annual conferences.

Judy has developed a range of new clients, applying the same core principle in every case: personal contact and responsibility. Despite having built a small, dedicated team that has worked together since the early 90s, Judy remains the primary link on every event. The enormous range of events, venues, suppliers and nationalities has given Judy vast experience of different working practices, negotiation and long-term planning.

However, every event is unique and experience can only count for so much:

Judy's hallmark is her personal touch and the confidence this instills in her clients.

Dawn O'Hanrahan

Dawn's career started in the conference department of the Institute of Chartered Accountants. Two years later in 1981, she joined the International Bar Association as a Conference Administrator, personally responsible for her own annual events list. Dawn has genuinely spent all her working life in conference and event management and has experience in every element, in many countries, and is well-aware of the subtleties of the ‘global market'. Dawn's know-how enables clients to benefit from the extra touches that make events stand out from their competitors.  Dawn worked with Judy for many years at the IBA and then joined JLC in 1999, where her chief responsibilities are for the working programmes, venue and speaker liaison.

Annie Dunster

Annie Dunster graduated from King's College London with an Honours degree in French and spent the next two years in the sales administration team of a major French aluminium conglomerate. In 1994, after spending a year travelling solo across the globe, Annie joined the International Bar Association where she rose through the ranks to be appointed IBA Deputy Executive Director, a position she held for 5 years. Her role required providing direction and guidance to many of the senior principal leaders of the Association.

Annie's principal accountabilities were defining the working programme for the annual conference, strategy development and implementation for the activities for the IBA's business lawyer members and budget preparation and control. Her work involved liaison at a senior level with key international figures.

In 2007, Annie joined JLC where her prime responsibility is for sponsorship, marketing and exhibitions although her experience covers the whole spectrum of event management.

Sue Percy

Sue Percy has spent almost her entire working life in the conference industry so there isn't much in her area of expertise that she doesn't know! Since joining JLC in 2002, Sue has taken over responsibility for all conference registrations and hotel bookings for many of the conferences. She is also the front person in the 'JLC Office' and, as such, is the first point of contact for many delegates. She enjoys getting to know our delegates and the friendly and personal service she offers is much appreciated.
