Why financial wellbeing matters in law and what needs to change
Financial risk in the legal profession isn’t just about AML, compliance, or client accounts – it’s also about the personal financial pressures solicitors face every day. And those pressures have real consequences: stress, reduced performance, ethical risk, and, increasingly, a need for crisis support.
In Episode 2 of The Legal Pause, Wealthbrite founder Carla Hoppe joins our CEO, Nick Gallagher, to explore why financial education is still missing in the profession – and how early intervention can help solicitors stay confident, resilient, and financially secure throughout their careers.
A partnership built around prevention
The Solicitors’ Charity is proud to partner with Wealthbrite, funding places on their Financial Foundations Programme so that junior solicitors from lower-income or lower-socioeconomic backgrounds can access essential financial management skills. Together, we’re helping lawyers build strong financial habits long before problems escalate.

This important discussion continued at Wealthbrite’s Financial Wellbeing in Law 2025 Launch on 27 November, where Carla, Nick and Sophie Cisler explored what real prevention looks like – and how supporting solicitors’ financial wellbeing protects both people and the profession.
