The Solicitors’ Charity has launched The Legal Pause, a brand-new podcast dedicated to supporting the wellbeing of solicitors across England and Wales.
Life in law is demanding, and solicitors often put their own wellbeing behind the needs of their clients. The Legal Pause creates space to stop, reflect, and recharge through thought-provoking conversations with experts, thought leaders, and partners from across the legal sector.
Each 30-minute episode offers practical insights and inspiring perspectives on issues that matter most to today’s solicitors – from managing stress and financial pressures to building emotional resilience and staying connected in a fast-changing profession.
It speaks to employers, to law firms and those who can make a difference to the experience of life in the law by highlighting support routes and sources.
Hosted by Nick Gallagher, CEO of The Solicitors’ Charity since 2019, the podcast draws on more than two decades of his experience leading legal charities including LawWorks, the Bar Pro Bono Unit (now Advocate) and the Personal Support Unit (now Support through Court). Nick’s deep understanding of the profession ensures the podcast delivers both empathy and actionable ideas.
Nick Gallagher, CEO of The Solicitors’ Charity, said: “Solicitors dedicate their careers to helping others, but too often, they do so at the expense of their own wellbeing. The Legal Pause is about giving the profession a moment to breathe – a space for open, engaging conversations that put solicitors’ wellbeing first.”
The Legal Pause is available now on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and Amazon Music. Episodes are designed to fit easily into a busy routine – whether during a commute, a coffee break, or a moment away from the desk.
