What legal professional wellbeing will look like in 2025 and beyond

Here, the new co-chairs of the International Bar Association’s Professional Wellbeing Commission reflect how much conversations around wellness in law continue to shift and what taking data-driven approaches will mean for businesses, leadership, and lawyers’ advancement moving forward.

In this episode of The Lawyers Weekly Show, host Jerome Doraisamy speaks with Desi Vlahos and Lucinda Soon about the IBA’s Professional Wellbeing Commission and what it does, where the legal profession is at – globally – in addressing holistic wellness issues, the introduction of workplace regulation and legislation to better protect employees from various hazards, and takeaways from recent research into the state of affairs for lawyers’ wellness.

Vlahos and Soon also delve into taking data-driven approaches to improve health and wellbeing in legal workplaces, how best law firms and businesses can practically implement data-driven approaches, the four streams that the IBA will focus attention on in 2025, and what excites them both about the future of wellness conversations in the legal profession worldwide.
