In this special episode of The Lawyers Weekly Show, produced in partnership with LEAP Family Law, we explore how and why so many family law practitioners are leaving the profession and what can be done to better support them in practice.
Host Jerome Doraisamy speaks with LEAP Family Law managing director Jenna Downy about her background as a family lawyer, how and why burnout impacts lawyers in this space, the unique challenges facing family lawyers, the many hats that they have to wear, and how burnout can impact female practitioners more than their male counterparts.
Downy also delves into her own experiences with burnout when she practised in family law, the moment of realisation that she experienced, the options that practitioners can and should be exploring, whether they are aware of such options, how LEAP is supporting family lawyers right now, and whether she is optimistic about family lawyers’ capacity to proactively and reactively navigate burnout in practice.
