Staying Sane in Family Law

A Survival Guide for Lawyers Working in the Most Emotionally Charged Practice Area

Our founder, Annmarie’s debut book, Staying Sane in Family Law, is out now! Click here to buy the book. It’s a deeply practical and refreshingly honest guide for anyone in the family law world on how to navigate the emotional intensity of practice (with a big dollop of humour!). Family law asks a lot of lawyers - compassion, clarity, resilience, emotional control, and mental stamina. Burnout, vicarious trauma and overwhelm are often part of the job. This book helps you stay steady, human, and effective in the middle of it all. Inside, she shares:

  • Tools to protect your mental health
  • Strategies for building emotional resilience
  • Ways to keep boundaries with difficult or distressed clients
  • Real-world stories from the frontline (Annmarie's included)

Whether you’re just starting out or have decades of experience, this book will help you not just survive, but thrive in family law. Click here to come to a seminar (and get a free book!) - Attend the seminar

Guess who’s going to Birmingham tomorrow??

In this article

Clue: he’s not very chatty …but he has a very colourful personality

Yep, you guessed it - it’s Brian the Brain!

Brian is joining me to talk about ‘Fear and Finance: how to work well with vulnerable clients going through divorce and separation’ at the Resolution Financial Planning on Separation Conference.

And we can’t wait!

We’ll be talking about everything that gives people the collywobbles…

…how stress and trauma affects the brain…

…how to have conversations that put upset and vulnerable people at ease…

…and how to look after ourselves in the process!

Don’t get me wrong - I love lawyers as much as the next self-respecting person. But it will be nice to talk to a bunch of financial planners for a change.

Come and say hi and check out Brian’s hemispheres!

PS yes I have spent my time this morning sellotaping a nose and mouth to a model brain. Don’t judge me.

Look forward to seeing you all tomorrow
