Law Life Balance: Prioritising Mental Wellbeing in the Legal Industry - Caitlin McFee - S4E16
This week on the Legally Speaking Podcast, our host Robert Hanna welcomes Caitlin McFee onto the show.
Caitlin is a Pro Bono Associate and the Founder of Law Life Balance, a mental health and wellbeing platform for lawyers.
After facing her own struggles whilst doing her training contract at a Magic Circle firm, she set up the project to drive forward positive cultural change in the industry.
In addition, she's also a Project Lead at the Association of Mental Health Providers. She recently became a fellow podcaster, having set up her fantastic 'Law Life Balance' podcast just last month.
In this episode, we discuss:
- The entertaining reason why she decided to become a lawyer, and how she achieved a top training contract

- How law firms and individuals can work together to help tackle the industry's mental health crisis
- Why law firm managers still fail to pay enough attention to employee satisfaction and happiness
