Great insights from, Partner, Daniel Myers on the recent Think Foley's CPD Podcast Series - Daze in Court, alongside Rohan Hoult and Amy Yu.

The conversation explored the realities of stress and anxiety in legal practice, with a practical and thoughtful discussion about managing pressure and maintaining wellbeing in a demanding profession.

Daniel brought a particularly valuable perspective to the discussion, drawing on his extensive experience in family law and his deep understanding of the human dynamics that underpin separation, conflict and decision-making. His ability to combine legal expertise with genuine insight into client wellbeing is what makes him such a respected practitioner in this space.

A worthwhile listen.
