Helping lawyers feel better, work better, live better.

Our manifesto

Hey lawyer! We want to reignite your love of the law by sparking your creativity, fuelling your passion, and toppling toxic traditions.

We’re for

  • Letting go of the work-life balance bullshit. It’s just life.

  • Speaking human.

  • Doing law creatively.

  • #funlaw.

  • Building great habits in the workplace.

  • Burning the billable hour before it burns you.

Why we’re leading this revolution

It’s no secret that lawyers are universally loathed  – just listen to the tone of lawyer jokes (and there are thousands. We counted).

The pressure of public perception, plus the pressure of working almost seven days a week in a high-stress environment, can cause more than just a lack of sleep. It’s no coincidence that 1 in 10 lawyers under 30 experience suicidal thoughts.

If you’re an unhappy lawyer, you’re not alone! The statistics are staggering; lawyers are 3.6 times more likely to be depressed compared to people in other jobs. No wonder the landmark 2016 American Bar Association and Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation study found

that 28% of licensed, employed lawyers suffered from depression, that 19% have symptoms of anxiety, and 21% meet the description of ‘problem drinkers’. Surely, this figure could only have grown in the last few years.

We can change these stats together!

Ready for rehab?

We have a series of workshops designed to take your legal team from debilitated to rehabilitated. Pick from one of our ready-to-go workshops, or let’s tailor one for your team.

Saddle up, we ride at dawn.

We’re rehabilitated lawyers, instigators, design thinkers, information design and change managers who help lawyers make law fun again. We challenge the status quo with a wave of creativity and fresh thinking. Are you ready for a change?
