Peter Connor is Founder and CEO of T-Shaped Legal and a globally renowned legal thought leader, author, and Legal Team Coach.
Prior to founding his own business, he worked in a business role as VP Technology Products at the ComplianceTech business The Red Flag Group in Hong Kong, where he managed a group of software engineers and data scientists. For 30+ years prior to that he worked as a lawyer for Baker McKenzie in Sydney and Hong Kong, and for Sun Microsystems and Citrix Systems in various regional general counsel roles in Silicon Valley, Hong Kong, UK, Australia and Switzerland. He is the only lawyer to have won the prestigious Sun Microsystems CEO Business Leadership Award.
Winning that award was the catalyst for Peter to start writing and speaking about the crucial importance of business work for corporate lawyers. About a decade ago, Peter was the first in the world to conceive the T-Shaped Lawyer.
Since then, he has refined that idea into his T-Shaped Lawyer Philosophy, developed the Philosophy into various programs, and professional development and change Frameworks, for leadership teams and individual lawyers, delivered the programs in workshops to thousands of lawyers around the world. He has also written two books available on Amazon – The T-Shaped Lawyer: A New Vision for You and Your Work, and The T-Shaped Lawyer Guidebook: A Framework for Your Professional Development. He is just about to launch an online video version of his 1-day workshop – The T-Shaped Lawyer Program – that will be game-changing for every corporate lawyer.
Peter uniquely focuses now on Human Transformation – helping corporate legal teams, firms and lawyers to change themselves, their work and their capabilities to do different, more impactful, work.
