Karen Finch Talks Law Firm Culture and Lawyer Wellbeing
lawyers and non-lawyers alike know that law firms are not easy places to work. The demanding hours, high stake matters and immense responsibility are hallmarks in the life of a lawyer vying to climb the career ladder. However, the overwhelming reality of anxiety, depression and other mood disorders brought on by mounting stress is lesser known. We were joined by Karen Finch CEO of Legally Yours and passionate advocate for lawyer mental health to discuss wellbeing in the legal profession.
