Charity LawCare’s super-quick survey to help improve working life

LawCare, the mental health charity for the legal sector, is asking legal professionals to help out by completing an anonymous ten-minute survey.

There are two ‘Life in the Law 2025’ surveys, one for individuals and one for organisations such as law firms, chambers and in-house legal departments. The questions cover subjects such as working hours, job pressure and workplace measures to support mental health and wellbeing.

Elizabeth Rimmer, CEO of LawCare, said: ‘These surveys are open to everyone working in law, and they’ll help us understand why people in our sector may be experiencing poor mental health and what practical steps organisations and individuals can take to prevent this.

‘By sharing your experiences, you’re contributing to building a more supportive and healthier working environment for the future. Together, we can make a real difference.’

The surveys are open until Friday 21 March. Find them here (individuals) and here (organisations)
