Career concerns are one of the most common reasons people get in touch with LawCare. People begin to question if law is right for them - because the pressure feels relentless, or their role isn’t what they expected. For some, this leads to thoughts of looking for a new role or leaving the sector altogether.

Whether you're thinking about doing something different in your legal career, helping someone else make a change, or trying to make your workplace more supportive, this webinar was for you.

We were joined by:

  • Eric Rugundu - Client Relationship Manager at International Bar Association, Certified Coach, and LawCare Champion
  • Frasia Wright – Founder and Managing Director of Frasia Wright Associates (recruitment company)
  • David McCahon - Chief of Staff at Mills & Reeve, Former General Counsel, Executive Coach and Mentor, and LawCare Champion
  • Kavita Varu – Lawyer, speaker, and professional DJ
  • Nick O’ Neill - Chair

The panel discussed:

  • What flexible and alternative legal careers can look like - and why they matter.
  • How transferable skills, coaching, and new ways of working are reshaping the profession.
  • Why people stay in legal roles - and what makes them leave.
