Wellbeing matters: Effective stress and risk management for in house legal professionals

Law can be a stressful business. The pressures encountered by lawyers in private practice are widely recognised but the unique challenges faced by in-house legal teams can lead to sleepless nights for in-house lawyers. An increasingly demanding regulatory burden, economic pressure to do more with less, and the sometimes competing demands of an in-house lawyer’s role as an officer of the court and an employee of their client can create psychosocial and commercial risks.

General Counsel and Company Secretary Sarah Hine and Senior Conflicts and Compliance Lawyer Peter Bozym will look at some of the issues keeping in-house lawyers awake at night and share some professional and personal strategies to help you get a good night’s sleep.
