63% of solicitors admit to experiencing stress on a daily basis
95% of solicitors have some negative stress in their jobs
17% of solicitors say that they consider this stress to be "extreme."

With the legal industry being so demanding it is crucial that we place a greater focus on individual and collective wellbeing. However, as we all know that is a lot easier said than done.

This week on the You've Been Served Podcast I am joined by Hannah Clifford, Solicitor at Irwin Mitchell, and Molly McKenna, co-host of the Virtually Legal Podcast, LPC graduate and future trainee, to explain what wellbeing means to them and strategies they utilise to achieve balance in both their work and life.
