LawCare has joined with the Law Society of England and Wales, the Solicitors’ Charity and the Mindful Business Charter to launch a new Solicitor Wellbeing Alliance for England and Wales, aimed at improving mental health and wellbeing across the profession, LawCare said on 12 October 2026.

The four organisations said they have come together to provide a more coordinated approach to wellbeing support, helping solicitors and firms access existing resources, guidance and services.

Key points

  • LawCare, the Law Society of England and Wales, the Solicitors’ Charity and the Mindful Business Charter have formed the Solicitor Wellbeing Alliance for England and Wales.
  • The Alliance aims to make it easier for solicitors and firms to find and access the right support by improving awareness and signposting between organisations.
  • Members will work together on shared priorities and share insight on trends and emerging issues affecting solicitor wellbeing.
  • The Alliance intends to provide a unified voice and identify opportunities to positively influence organisational culture and working practices.
  • LawCare said in October 2025 it published its Life in the Law 2025 report, which it said highlights the opportunity to build a legal sector that values its people and protects their mental health and wellbeing at work.

What the Alliance will do

LawCare said the Alliance will work to improve awareness and signposting between organisations, focus on what the four bodies can achieve together that they could not do alone, share insight on trends and emerging issues affecting solicitor wellbeing, and identify opportunities to positively influence organisational culture and working practices.

Comment from the Law Society

LawCare’s announcement included a statement attributed to Law Society of England and Wales president, Mark Evan: “Solicitors face significant wellbeing challenges and no single organisation can tackle them alone. By joining forces, we can raise awareness of the support already available, share expertise and help drive healthier workplace cultures across the profession. The Alliance brings together organisations with a shared goal: ensuring solicitors can access the support they need to thrive. Over the coming year, Alliance members will work together to develop and deliver practical outputs that improve awareness of support, share learning and help solicitors and legal organisations take positive action on wellbeing.”

Wider context

LawCare said its Life in the Law 2025 report, published in October 2025, highlighted the opportunity to build a legal sector that values its people and protects their mental health and wellbeing at work, which it said is fundamental to the profession’s ability to administer justice and uphold the rule of law.
