Good afternoon,
To celebrate the launch of the Paris chapter of the international Lawyers’ BD CLUB, I’d love to invite you to our special 58th event sponsored and hosted at Hogan Lovells (Paris).
A FIRESIDE CHAT
with
BJARNE P. TELLMANN
GENERAL COUNSEL & SVP of PEARSON PLC
Our guest speaker, Bjarne P. Tellmann, will be very kindly joining us from New York to chat about his new book (just published):
“Building an Outstanding Legal Team: Battle-Tested Strategies from a General Counsel”

In 2015, Bjarne P. Tellmann was our wonderful guest speaker at the New York chapter of the Lawyers BD CLUB (hosted at the US law firm, Morgan Lewis).
Our guests really enjoyed Bjarne’s Talk with many describing him as being “inspirational”. One guest said:
“What a fantastic evening listening to Bjarne and Colin ‘firestyle’.
Bjarne is completely inspirational –
clearly incredibly intelligent, thoughtful, passionate and driven,
yet with a humble approach to his success
which was very compelling and thought provoking.”
RSVP
It promises to be a very informative, entertaining and enjoyable evening.
I am sure you will enjoy the evening.
If you would like to receive an invitation, please feel free to email me. Places will be offered on a first-come first-served basis. I look forward to hearing from you.
