In this presentation, Jerome outlines how — in an evolving legal marketplace — legal practice managers can ensure that not only are all legal professionals aware of the need to better look after themselves and strike the right personal and vocational balance, but that they can do so in a way that ensures their health and happiness, and therefore their productivity and success.
