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 be impacting their everyday practice.
A completely confidential service
The Friends Panel is a group of senior professionals who has been specifically selected to provide collegial support and is not intended to dispense free legal advice nor legal services. We are not privy to any information in relation to calls made or the subject matter discussed.
