PROFILE
Ann Janssen (BA (Econ) LLB (Hons))
Ann Janssen is a Solicitor and the CEO of CorporateFirst. Ann has been a Solicitor for 12 years and had her own successful legal practice for 9 of those 12 years. During
her time as a practitioner, Ann saw that with faster
delivery of quality business documents, you would only need
to touch the file once, and clients would benefit from the
convenience.
With this in mind, CorporateFirst was developed, which uses the power of the Internet to deliver convenient and less expensive
legal documents direct to professionals from their own PCs.
Accountants, lawyers and financial advisors not only
benefit from the convenience, but also have access to the
tax and business lawyers who created the documents as part
of the FREE Lawyer Support offered with each service.
Ann has an Arts degree majoring in Economics as well as a Law degree with Honours from the University of Queensland. After graduating in the early 1980s, she worked for Allen, Allen &
Hemsley, Solicitors (formerly Feez Ruthning) in Brisbane. Subsequently Ann held a Senior management position with the Commonwealth government Department of Administrative
Services where she was one of the key figures leading the implementation of privatization of this Department through the mid to late 1980s.
She then returned to the law and established her own successful legal practice (Janssen & Janssen, Solicitors) in 1990. In 1996 she commenced studies for her Master of Business Administration and was President of the MBA Association in 1998/99. She is now completing the Honours stream in that course with research thesis into
internet strategies for the Australian legal profession. Ann has spoken at Universities, marketing groups and
law firms on the need to embrace the Internet to deliver legal services. She has also published several articles in various legal
magazines and journals.
Ann was grand finalist in the Women in Technology Manager of the Year
2001 and Legalmart was also state finalist in 2001
Yellow Pages Small Business Ideas Award.
