There's a culture in law that no one really talks about. The culture of not asking. Not talking about money. Salary secrecy But this silence comes at a cost. It can create confusion. It can reinforce inequality. It can break trust. It can keep people stuck. Understanding your worth isn't just about numbers.It's about building a life that works for you.Staying in the dark isn't just disempowering.It's expensive.In this episode, I sit down with Jono Randell-Nash, ex lawyer turned independent financial advisor for lawyers. Carla Hoppe, former corporate solicitor, ex- director of international tax and transaction services at EY and founder of WealthBrite, an award-winning financial education partner helping law firms build financially savvy lawyers.We explore the culture of salary secrecy in law firms, the widespread financial literacy gap across the legal industry, and the key questions lawyers should be asking to take control of their financial wellbeing.Find Carla here: https://www.linkedin.com/in/carlahoppe/ Find Jono here: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jono-randell-nash/ More about Wealthbrite: https://www.wealthbrite.co.uk/ Hosted on Acast.

So many associates think they're on the path to partnership…But they're not even close.And no one's telling them.Some are chasing an invisible finish line.Because the steps to partnership? Often they're not written down.Or the goalposts keep shifting. So is it still worth it? That depends on one thing: Clarity. Clarity from firms. Clarity from leaders. Clarity for associates to make empowered decisions about their careers.Because without it, we're fuelling a cycle of disillusionment, quiet quitting, and talent loss. In this exclusive conversation with Brandon Renken, trial partner at Mayer Brown and Helen Pamely, ex law firm partner, we discuss:– Why so many associates feel misled about the path to partnership– What really happens behind closed doors when partnership decisions are made– The silence around feedback and how it creates confusion and resentment– The surprising metrics that matter (and the ones that shouldn't)– How transparency or the lack of it shapes the future of law firms Find out about Brandon Renken here:https://www.linkedin.com/in/brandon-renken-91b7937a/Book a discovery call with Helen if you want to learn more about the path to partnership here:https://lp.helenpamely.com/career-coaching-discovery-call---The ULTIMATE starter pack for LinkedIn for lawyers: 11 interactive tools designed to elevate your personal brand and turn connections into clients.From optimising your profile, to mastering content creation, with 30 scroll-stopping frameworks and magnetic hook formulas.

AI isn't coming for lawyers.It's coming for tasks.And here's the real shift:If your value is tied only to what a system can do faster,It's time to rethink what you're really selling.Lawyers who will thrive aren't the ones who fear AI.They're the ones who double down on the one thing machines can't do:Trust.Judgment.Human connection.Creative strategy in grey areas.AI might draft the contract.You'll still be the one they call before they sign it.---A landmark moment for the legal industry:The Solicitors Regulatory Authority has officially authorised Garfield.Law, the first ever AI-driven law firm regulated to provide legal services in England and Wales.This isn't just another firm using AI to streamline admin.

The one-sized-fits-all mindset doesn't work in international law.Step into another country thinking your way is the only way, and you'll fail fast.Success in law isn't just about knowing the rules—it's about understanding the culture behind them.I've seen lawyers walk into international markets assuming they can operate like they do at home. They hit a wall. Because legal strategy, business and connections is shaped by culture.In some places, contracts mean everything. In others, personal relationships hold more weight than a signed agreement.Cultural intelligence isn't just a “nice-to-have” skill. It's the difference between landing clients and losing them.Today, I'm sitting down with George Summerfield, partner at K&L Gates Beijing office.

Taking a career break won't ruin you. But staying miserable might.Lawyers panic about stepping away.The fear? That a career break means career suicide. That law firms will blacklist you.

Why do some people stay in toxic workplaces?Because sometimes, it feels familiar.If you grew up in an unsupportive or estranged family, you might have learned early on that approval and safety come at a cost. Maybe you had to compete for attention. Maybe speaking up led to punishment. Maybe you learned that keeping the peace was more important than being heard.Fast forward to your career.You enter a workplace where toxic dynamics thrive, where leaders play favourites, pit employees against each other, or make you feel like you have to prove your worth every day. And instead of seeing the red flags, you normalise them. You tolerate the dysfunction. Maybe, without realizing it, you even contribute to it.Because once upon a time, that was survival.Today I'm sitting down with Becca Bland, a journalist, researcher, and leading advocate for family estrangement awareness. She founded Stand Alone, the UK's only non-profit for estranged individuals, and has driven groundbreaking research and policy change.

Stress in law isn't just part of the job, it's built into the culture.Deadlines. Client demands. Billable targets. It's easy to believe that stress is something external, something that happens to you. But stress isn't just about the job. It's a biological response.This episode is part of a new mini-series on wellbeing in law, while the demands of the industry aren't changing overnight lawyers have to rethink how they can navigate them.And no, this isn't another “just meditate and take breaks” kind of conversation.
