Lawyer Unleashed

by Helen Pamely

The off-the-record conversations every lawyer needs to hear. Helen Pamely is a former Magic Circle lawyer and law firm partner turned coach. Lawyer Unleashed throws out the rulebook on everything you think you know about law careers. Each episode goes behind closed doors with senior lawyers, operators, decision-makers... And those rewriting the rules entirely. Not the version you hear in meetings. The real one. Partnership. Power. Business development. Burnout. Breaking point. What comes next. So you can see the game clearly...and choose your next move.
