Stressed out lawyers invited to the Priory

The Priory Group, the specialist mental healthcare provider famous for treating pop stars and other celebrities, is now branching into stress management for the legal profession.

Kate Moss and Robbie Williams have both benefited from a stint at the Priory Hospital in Roehampton, London. Now the group has created a stress management programme specifically aimed at large, international law firms.

Several City firms have already signed up to the service, although the programme is still in its “early stages”. Business development director Marco Martinez says: “Longer working hours, client deadlines, and drive for growth means lawyers are constantly operating at high octane stress levels. Our approach ensures that stress, effectively managed, improves performance and profitability.”

He adds that stress management education and training offers lawyers a measurable operational improvement, and also reduces unwanted litigation risks from discontented clients.

More information is available from Martinez at marcomartinez@prioryhealthcare.com.
