Law Firms Want to Improve Mental Health, but They're 'Failing to Take Preventative Action'
Special Report
Law.com has embarked on a yearlong investigation into mental health across every sector of the legal profession. Over the course of 12 months, we will aim to shine a light on mental health, addiction, stress and well-being; destigmatize the issue; and identify methods to effectuate change.
The response follows the most recent piece in Law.com’s “Minds Over Matters” yearlong series: an article titled “Constantly on Call” that states that “client demands for fast turnaround times, even on non-urgent matters, can leave outside counsel in constant crisis mode” and that “many lawyers said legal department leaders often don’t think about the impact they’re having on outside counsel’s mental health, or they don’t care—clients pay a high rate for quick responses on all matters.”
The rebuttal was prompted by NetApp Inc. GC Matt Fawcett, who in a LinkedIn post Wednesday, said he “take[s] issue” with the “labeling” of in-house counsel as a reason for the high levels of addiction, depression and suicide that have plagued all sectors of the legal industry in recent years.
