Friends
Panel
Our Friends Panel provides confidential support for legal professionals.
Providing lawyers with independent support
For many years, this service has provided an outlet for members of the profession, who require support outside of the office environment, on matters that may have been affecting their everyday practice.
A completely confidential service
The Friends Panel is a group of senior professionals specifically selected to provide collegial support. The Friends Panel is not intended to dispense free legal advice or legal services. The Law Association is not privy to any information on calls made or any subject matter discussed.
