Burnout prevention for legal professionals: it starts with conscious leadership

At Legal Staffing Experts, I speak daily with lawyers, in-house counsel, and legal professionals who practice their craft with passion.
They love the substance of the law, the intellectual challenge, and the sense of responsibility that comes with it.
But behind that drive often lies something else: pressure, exhaustion, and the constant fear of not doing enough.
The legal profession runs on precision and deadlines. We are trained to be “on” at all times, to work flawlessly, and to provide solutions, even when we ourselves are running on empty.
And that is exactly where the risk of burnout creeps in.
