The characteristics that make a good lawyer can often be the same ones that unfortunately put lawyers at risk of experiencing high levels of stress, anxiety and depression. This experienced panel will explore some of the key triggers and stressors affecting a professional’s judgement and ability to provide legal services competently, diligently and with integrity.
