LEGAL ESG

LEGAL ESG brings together todays thought leaders to address the business critical imperative of Environmental, Social, and Corporate Governance in the Legal Profession

Thought Leadership

By Inside Practice July 27, 2026
Inside Practice has launched a dedicated Legal Wellbeing platform and made two recent webinar replays publicly available ahead of Legal Wellbeing London this September. The pressures affecting wellbeing in the legal profession are often difficult to see. A lawyer may appear to be performing at a high level while expending enormous energy masking neurodivergent traits. Another may continue delivering for clients while repeated exposure to traumatic material, distressed individuals or high-conflict matters gradually changes how they think, feel and respond. Over recent weeks, Inside Practice has examined both forms of hidden strain through two specialist webinars. The full replays are now publicly available, giving legal leaders, people teams and practitioners an opportunity to revisit the discussions and share them more widely. The webinars also form part of a broader development: the launch of Legal Wellbeing , Inside Practice’s new dedicated intelligence platform for the profession. The site brings together regular briefings, research and data, event information and resources covering lawyer mental health, neurodivergence, psychological safety, leadership accountability and the future of legal work. It gives these discussions a permanent home and creates continuity between briefings, webinars and live events. That continuity matters. The challenges raised in both webinars do not fit neatly within a single wellbeing initiative or annual awareness week. They affect how work is allocated, how performance is interpreted, how managers respond to warning signs and how firms discharge their responsibilities to people working under sustained pressure. The platform will keep those questions visible between live discussions.
