This FREE one-hour online event will also provide some practical tips and a Q&A session for participants.

Clare Hughes-Williams and Tom Bedford of DAC Beachcroft, both of whom specialise in defending solicitors from claims and regulatory action brought by the SRA, will discuss:

1. The importance of employee well-being in the context of avoiding claims, particularly in the current operating environment;
2. The relevance of this issue to the SRA in light of the new Code of Conduct for firms;
3. Examples of problems which can arise, and cases they have seen where firms have failed to properly consider well-being and supervision;
4. Practical tips to ensure well-being is maintained and the risks of claims and/or disciplinary action are mitigated.

Covid-19 has affected many businesses across the UK, not least within the legal profession.

Businesses and professional services are facing a difficult time, whether through limited access to clients during the lockdown, or through a contraction in economic and purchasing activity.

Join us for this free online event on Thursday 14 May, 12:30 – 13:30, hosted via Zoom.

Anyone working in or with the legal profession.

Monday 18 May, 12:30 - 13:15

**THIS EVENT IS OPEN TO ALL - NOT JUST JUNIOR LAWYERS!**

Join us for a coffee / beverage of choice and a catch up to kick off Mental Health Awareness Week 2020!

Last year the JLD organised a series of events for MHAW – including a panel discussion which saw over 70 people in the same room discussing mental health (it seems so long ago that we were allowed to sit within 2 metres of each other).

We are now seven (but who’s counting?!) weeks into lockdown and the JLD is keen to host a well-overdue catch-up for junior lawyers in the area – and avoid allowing lockdown get in the way of Mental Health Awareness Week 2020 (18th – 22nd May).

Join us for an informal catch-up to share your lockdown stories and concerns.

We will end the event with a short mindfulness session from Mary Jackson at LawCare.
