In this episode, we focus on mental health in professional services firms. While we're taking law firms as a broad example of professional services, these lessons and ideas really extend to wider professional services firms. VinciWorks' Director of Best Practice Gary Yantin supports law firms in getting compliance right, and he has been speaking with two experts in this field. Ben Morris, Head of Employee Relations DAC Beachcroft and Kate Dodd, Diversity and Inclusion Consultant for Pinsent Masons LLP. They discuss the importance of taking staff's mental health into consideration and how best to do that. They also share examples of success stories and initiatives that you can implement in your organisation today. VinciWorks' mental health training for the workplace: www.vinciworks.com/mental-health

Effective use of data relies on good ethical foundations. While national data institutions have the power to issue papers, guidance, and create sound tools for evaluating ethical needs and setting standards, only the Government has the power to make legislation and issue binding policy requirements. This talk explores the Government's practice in one specific area – making legislation relevant to data and digitalisation – though a forensic review of relevant statutes and regulations made in 2020. Dr Sue Chadwick will talk us through her year of statute-stalking, surveying both the content of the legislation made and the way it was made and applied. She will evaluate those practices against some established codes of digital ethics, including the ODI Data Ethics Canvas and the Government's own Data Ethics Framework. About the speaker Sue is a Strategic Planning Advisor at Pinsent Masons LLP with a keen – some might say obsessive – interest in data and the way it will transform the property industry and challenge many of its established foundations. As one of the ODI's first ever research fellows she has spent the last year working with their Vice President Jeni Tennison, exploring digital ethics and their implications for planning decisions with a particular focus on human rights, equalities, discrimination, and established codes of practice. Her research is due to be published through the ODI in September.

There has been increasing public awareness, political concern, and corporate action on mental health in the UK in recent years. This comes amid more referrals to mental health services, an explosion in prescriptions for anti-depressants, an increase in work days lost to mental health problems, and a stark rise in suicide, particularly among young men. In light of the current COVID-19 pandemic, stress and anxiety will only be exacerbated. In this episode, we explore employers' moral and legal responsibility towards their staff’s wellbeing. We were also joined by DAC Beachcroft’s Head of Employee Relations Ben Morris and Pinsent Masons LLP’s Diversity and Inclusion Consultant Kate Dodd to explore initiatives that businesses have introduced to good effect and what lessons have been learnt.

With the new football season now in full swing, EG’s Jess Harrold is joined by Sue Chadwick, Arsenal fan and strategic planning adviser for Pinsent Masons LLP, to discuss some of the major planning issues involved in football stadium developments and redevelopments. Chadwick considers how football cases have helped shape planning law in key areas, including in respect of assets of community value and environmental impact assessments, looks at how increasingly technologically advanced stadiums are at the forefront of data protection issues, which she predicts will come to play a major part in the planning process in the years to come – and shares the pet peeve that really annoys her about Alan Shearer and other football analysts on TV.

In the wake of the public accounts committee inquiry into planning and the broken housing market, Sue Chadwick, strategic planning adviser at Pinsent Masons LLP joins us in the EG studio to discuss how the fourth industrial revolution holds the answers. Chadwick discusses how accelerated planning for housing could work in the context of a digital revolution, the legal hurdles and opportunities around modern methods of construction, and what the government must do to adapt the planning regime so it is ready to reap the rewards of the fourth industrial revolution.

Back on August 31st 2005, the Legal Talk Network launched this podcast that would become the longest running legal podcast. And 250 podcasts later, the award-winning Lawyer2Lawyer podcast is celebrating its 5th anniversary. Attorneys and co-hosts Bob Ambrogi and J.Craig Williams, spotlight two other pioneers of legal podcasting, Denise Howell, the host of This Week in Law and Struan Robertson, Legal Director for Pinsent Masons LLP and founding editor of OUT-LAW.com/OUT-LAW Radio . They take a look at the value of a podcast for a lawyer today, as well as time commitment, differentiation, and a bit of fun.

The key speakers in this session are Richard Parkinson of Pinsent Masons LLP, Fran Eccles-Bech of Manchester Law Society, Joy Kingsley of Pannone LLP, and Graeme Jump of Mace and Jones. As employers restrict access to Facebook and other social media sites during regular working hours, email is still the number one time waster, according to UKFast's legal industry round table. Supporting the findings of the Confederation of the British Industry (CBI), personal email and internet use were identified by the panel as replacing sick days as the biggest danger to workplace productivity. Despite companies restricting the use of numerous sites to lunchtimes, finding a balance between acting like a Big Brother-style organisation and preventing essential time wasting is still a key issue. As 1 in 20 of all divorce petitions filed in England and Wales are now issued online, law firms also must prepare themselves to trade online as well as promote their business through their website. According to the expert panel, the legal community must inspire trust to encourage consumers to do this.
