Ex Law-Firm Partner Speaks Out: Can Wellbeing and the Legal Sector Co-Exist?
Mental health in the legal sector, does it even exist?
In this episode I am joined by ex-partner of a law firm, Helen Pamely, who speaks out against the sector’s record on mental health.
Helen challenges the pre-conceptions and norms of the industry to forge a new way. An ex-lawyer turned coach; she has lived experience at the top levels of this high-pressured environment. She discusses the radical changes needed to prioritise mental health and how the culture needs to evolve.
She calls out the practices that are compromising mental health in law firms, and the toxic cultures that enable them.
There is a real need for a more supportive and understanding work environment in law, Helen shows the way in how to achieve that.
