#4: Burnout, Billable-Hours & Defining Success - with Chrissie Wolfe

This episode’s guest is Chrissie Wolfe, recently ex-private practice personal injury lawyer from Irwin Mitchell now legal consultant, and founder of Law and Broader (or LAB). For the past 8 years, Chrissie has juggled a full-time private practice career alongside a busy social media schedule and various projects related to LAB, something she set up to help other aspiring lawyers access the competitive profession. Having recently relocated to Dubai, the location (and perspective) shift allowed her to re-evaluate her priorities and make the leap out of private practice into pursuing her own interests full-time.

This is a raw and honest discussion, and Chrissie talks very openly about her experience in private practice and trying to sustain her wellbeing whilst juggling a full-time job and busy personal project and brand. Some of the key topics we covered include:

  • Accessing the competitive legal profession
  • Burnout
  • Billable-hours culture
  • Alternative legal careers outside of private practice
  • Different ways to add value as a lawyer
  • The importance of happiness
  • Working abroad

If you’re keen to keep up with Chrissie’s next steps, you can follow her on Instagram, her YouTube channel, on LinkedIn, Twitter, or TikTok (@thetiktoklawyer)
