The Silent Epidemic | Well-Being and Personal Health of Legal Professionals in Times of Digital Transformation and Social Change
Massive forces ranging from COVID-19 to digital transformation are changing the world with unprecedented intensity and speed. It feels like our public, private and professional lives will never be the same again. This should make us more aware of other threats lurking in the dark which could be aggravated by the disruption we are facing. The LLI is tackling a sensitive issue that far too long has been a taboo in the legal industry and that now, in times fundamental social change, may turn out to become a silent epidemic: the declining well-being and personal health of lawyers and legal professionals. With the results of our survey we aim to achieve three things: to break the taboo by putting a spotlight on this hot topic, to facilitate conversations by creating a reference point for our community, and to spark ideas on how to tackle the underlying issues.
