Description
In the fast moving, highly pressurised legal profession, how do managing partners look after the wellness of their lawyers? There is a need to avoid over-working, burnout and poor partner behaviour and instead achieve a culture which allows and respects a work-life balance for lawyers and embraces collaboration among lawyers. Law firm leaders need to be proactive to ensure partnerships are well-functioning and harmonious and to avoid partnership disputes or, if these arise, manage and resolve these quickly and efficiently.
