It’s no secret that work-life balance is a hot-button issue, but it’s rarely put into practice. When it comes to in-house legal professionals, you’re not immune to burnout. In fact, high-performers like you are often more susceptible.

While extinguishing burnout is a tall order, we believe the right tool, task, and culture shifts can reduce the perpetual overwhelm that legal teams endure.
Discussion topics include:
  • What burnout really is–beyond the buzzword
  • How to effectively combat burnout
  • Proactive steps you can take to set yourself up for success
  • And more!
Who should attend?

  • Mary Curtin is legal tech | growth marketing & communications
  • Bob Levant embodies the term “Philadelphia Lawyer.” During his 25 year legal career, Bob litigated thousands of cases, successfully representing clients in many high-profile civil and criminal matters, including capital murder. In 2018, he secured the largest malicious prosecution civil rights verdict in Pennsylvania history when a jury awarded his client $10 million. Navigating clients through some of the most politically-charged and legally-complex cases and crises any lawyer could face, Bob mastered the art of strategic problem solving and resilience. With a client roster that includes college and professional athletes, elected officials, political power brokers, and celebrities, Bob deftly guided them through events that unfolded both behind the scenes and in the public eye, where decisions were often made strategically in real time, dealing with facts and media coverage that changed by the moment. His willingness, over the course of his legal career, to acknowledge and confront the struggle, self doubt, and deep vulnerability that accompany trial work differentiates him from most litigators.
