Wellbeing in the legal profession is being challenged by a growing tension between those who prefer to work remotely and those who are seeking to restore in-office presence. The advantage of remote practice eliminates time lost in commute for many, as well as providing a certain flexibility in the work-life balance. On the other hand, the give and take, as well as mentoring, among lawyers and the sense of working within a team is missed by others. Of concern is the growing research and publicity about alienation in society as a whole. Those working in the legal profession around the world are already challenged by factors unique to the practice of law, this concern of the impact of remoteness is not limited to them. However, as part of the overall mix, the question is whether remote working it is taking a toll on wellbeing and what can be done about it. The panel will discuss this increasingly public phenomenon in connection with the overall work of the IBA Wellbeing Commission and provide expert speakers in an interactive forum that encourages audience participation.
