In-house legal teams are operating in an environment of constant pressure. Business expectations are rising. Matters are becoming more complex, and legal is expected to move faster while managing greater risk with the same resources.

This session explores the science behind resilience in the legal profession and why it has become one of the most important factors shaping long-term performance. Drawing on over 30 years of research into lawyer personality, the discussion examines why lawyers are uniquely vulnerable to sustained pressure and what legal leaders can do to build healthier, more resilient teams.

Join Dr. Larry Richard, Co-Author of Thin-Skinned: Why Lawyers Are So Low in Resilience and the New Science That Can Help, in conversation with Akshay Verma from SpotDraft, as they explore how modern legal teams can build resilience without compromising performance, create environments that support sustainable success, and lead through increasing complexity.
