NLJ this week: Before you leave… LawCare offers help and support

94724
The workplace has changed, and we’ve been though the gruelling years of a pandemic—many lawyers are now seeking to leave the profession altogether. In this week’s NLJ, LawCare Chief Executive Elizabeth Rimmer shares her insights on navigating an uncertain world.

The charity LawCare helps legal professionals and their families deal with stress, addiction, mental ill-health and other issues. Here, Rimmer advises those considering leaving the law to ‘pause, reflect and think about your options… You are not alone to want a life outside of work’.

She sets some questions to think about before making a decision, and urges people to ‘remember that you are a well-educated and highly trained professional’.
