LawCare’s 2025 data turns wellbeing into a retention risk, not a benefits issue

LawCare’s latest Life in the Law research reports that 59.1% of respondents had low mental wellbeing, 56.2% could see themselves leaving their current workplace within five years, and 32.1% could see themselves leaving the legal sector. For firms and legal departments, the message is no longer that wellbeing belongs in a support programme; it belongs in workforce strategy, matter resourcing, partner accountability and leadership training.
