Episode 6: Pressure, Openness, and the Challenge of Asking for Help in Law

Has being “always on” become an accepted part of working in law?

Mark Evans, President of The Law Society of England and Wales, joins Nick Gallagher, CEO of The Solicitors’ Charity, to explore the pressures shaping today’s legal profession.

Together, they discuss how client expectations and technology are changing solicitors’ working lives, the impact of an increasingly “always on” culture, and why, despite greater awareness of wellbeing, asking for help can still feel difficult.

They also explore the role of leadership and openness in challenging established attitudes and creating healthier, more supportive ways of working.
