Ben Deverson

Director and Co-Founder

Founder & Director, Lawganised

Ben Deverson has had a 29-year executive career of which over half has been managing and leading professional services firms. Prior to launching Lawganised Ben was the principal and Managing Director of a boutique law firm based in Fortitude Valley, Brisbane. 

Whilst not being a qualified lawyer, Ben is an expert in the best practice operations of law firms. Throughout his career, Ben has gained an intimate knowledge of the challenges that law firm Principals face each day. Ben's strengths include strategic planning, people and culture, forecasting, cash flow management, process automation, performance metrics, leadership, and legal practice risk management. 

Ben has a passion for helping law firm Principals build strong, positive cultures and cohesive teams built on vulnerability-based leadership and trust. Ben believes teams with these characteristics allow Principals to optimise their people and generate enormous value in their practices, leading to a positive outlook on their business and their lives. 

Ben’s career has been unique in that he has held leadership and management roles from very early in his career including an Australian Army Officer, Chief Operating Officer and Practice Manager for two global accounting firms, a senior commercial manager of a major Queensland infrastructure project and General Manager of an independent Statutory Body. 

Ben is a proud husband and father of three children, and happily admits he married well outside his weight division(!). He's an avid sports fan, animal lover, Dad joke connoisseur, and a proud 'Swiftie' (a Taylor Swift fan). Ben always enjoys a good laugh and, in particular, enjoys a chat about anything Seinfeld related. Ben is often guilty of excessive overuse of Seinfeld references and quotes given he believes there’s a Seinfeld moment in every day. 

Ben is also a non-executive Director of the AEIOU Foundation for Children with Autism and non-executive Director of RSPCA Queensland.
