With depictions, perceptions and even memes portraying work in the law as negative, the results of LawCare's recent 'Life in the Law' study come as no surprise. Burnout, autonomy at work, psychological safety and work intensity all play a part in adding to a legal professional's stress levels, and LawCare wants to help firms work towards change by tackling these issues.

This episode forms part of our focus on issues within the Legal sector, with host Sharon Glynn (Solicitor, Senior Development Underwriter and Large Law Firm Lead at Travelers). 

Guest speaker: Elizabeth Rimmer, CEO Lawcare
