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

One of my highlights of this year so far has been working with increasing numbers of in-house lawyers.

And in particular, getting to know the innovative minds at Juro and providing the keynote at their recent conference on ‘Is law bad for your health?’

Their report here is such a good read and includes many of my real-world reflections on mental health and law https://juro.com/library/state-of-in-house-2024 as well as some fascinating stuff on the life of an in-house lawyer.
