When it comes to achieving success in the ever-changing and highly demanding role of in-house counsel, individual wellness can end up taking a back seat. It is important to prioritise one’s self, particularly in this turbulent age, so that one can thrive both professionally and personally as we turn our attention to life after coronavirus.
The trio will outline strategies and solutions for corporate lawyers to maintain successful and balanced careers in the post-pandemic landscape, functional tools on proactively combating signs and symptoms of stress and burnout, how best legal teams can support each other, and also provide insights into the new-age working environment and its nexus to one’s vocational trajectory.
Lawyers Weekly deputy editor Jerome Doraisamy, who will moderate the panel, said: “It has been a tumultuous year for Australian lawyers, including corporate counsel, and ensuring individual and institutional wellness as the new year approaches will be critical, not just for the daily operations of the legal department but for the viability and capacity of the broader business or organisation to thrive in 2021.”
“We are thrilled to have these prominent senior lawyers on board for what should be an insightful and practical conversation.”

Ms Birman spoke on The Corporate Counsel Show at the onset of the pandemic about wellness concerns in-house, noting – among other things – that legal team leaders must strike the right balance between catering to individual needs and the needs of the broader business.
