The Solicitors’ Charity has urged members of the profession to take part in its research questionnaire to ensure that the charity is doing everything it can to help solicitors thrive.

With the research’s end date approaching on 14 April, solicitors are encouraged to take part in the five-minute confidential online questionnaire and share their insights and opinions, which will play a key part in informing the Solicitors’ Charity’s strategy going forward.

The Solicitors’ Charity CEO Nick Gallagher (pictured) said: ‘This is a really important piece of research for us as we want to continue making a real positive difference to the lives of solicitors in the future.

‘We want to hear about their challenges and how they’re responding to them. Whether it's finding the right balance between work and personal life, managing the demands of their practice, or simply making ends meet, we want to know what people think.

‘By participating in our research, solicitors will help the charity to identify areas where they need to provide more support and resources.’

Take part in the questionnaire now.
