WELLBEING / STRESS / MENTAL HEALTH

The modern legal profession is under unprecedented pressure. Rising client demands, financial uncertainty, hybrid work models, and the relentless pace of technological and regulatory change have redefined what it means to “cope.”

Yet while firms have made strides in addressing burnout and mental health, the most significant risks often remain unseen, the psychosocial factors embedded deep within legal culture itself.

These risks, from chronic overcommitment and fear-based performance norms to isolation, moral injury, and status anxiety, quietly erode psychological safety, team cohesion, and long-term resilience. They manifest not just in individual distress but in systemic dysfunction: disengagement, attrition, ethical lapses, and reputational harm.

Join psychotherapist and trauma specialist Harry Key for a dynamic, interactive session uncovering the hidden psychosocial risks affecting legal professionals today.

Drawing on real-world data and insights from CiC, we’ll spotlight the roles most at risk, the organisational blind spots, and practical steps firms can take to protect their people. 

Expect reflection, discussion, and actionable takeaways to help your firm stay ahead of the curve.
