The legal profession is renowned for heavy workloads and high-pressure environment. Solicitors often juggle tight deadlines with managing client expectations and complex cases. This leaves little room for rest. However, research consistently highlights the importance of downtime for maintaining mental clarity, reducing burnout, and enhancing long-term productivity And while your calendar this Christmas may be bursting with social events, family get-togethers and festive parties, it’s important to find time to rest and relax over the holidays. Taking a break this Christmas will leave you better equipped for the challenges of the new year. In our last blog for 2024, we share a guide packed full of tips and strategies aimed at helping solicitors to truly switch off from the office this Christmas.

We have had a busy year here at Solicitors Growth Network, so we are certainly looking forward to a well-earned break. With that being said, our mailbox will only be checked intermittently from tomorrow, Friday 20th December until Thursday 2nd January 2025. Any queries will be answered as soon as possible after the Christmas break. 

This year, we had not one, but two fantastic events here at SGN. First up was our SGN Summit 2024 back in April, which took place at the beautiful Lawlors Hotel in Naas. We had some amazing guest speakers, from Dr Michael Keane, Eoin McGee to Ms Justice Deirdre Murphy and Emma Gilhooly and so many more. The day sessions finished up with a fireside chat between GAA All Star and Barrister Joe Brolly and Fifth Court Podcast Hosts Mark Tottenham BL and Peter Leonard BL. Of course, the Summit didn’t end there, with everyone dressing up for our Gala dinner and taking to the dancefloor! And it was also a special night, with our first ever Solicitors Growth Network Awards. Huge congrats once again to all the nominees and winners in each category. Just last month, we had a fully packed conference room for our SGN Roadshow: Dublin which was held at the Clayton Hotel, Cardiff Lane. Another great lineup of guest speakers -  Bill Holohan SC, Justice Marie Baker, Paul Egan SC, Katie da Gama and Michael O’ Connell all shared some great insights and expertise on the day. For the evening, we invited everyone to join us for some festive drinks and nibbles and it was lovely to see everyone connecting and getting into the Christmas spirit. We have already begun planning for 2025 , but for now, we would like to thank our lead partners for our events – LEAP Legal Software Ireland, Finders International Ireland and Currencies Direct Ireland – and of course, all of those who have attended and supported our In-person CPD events. #inpersoncpdforsolicitors #inpersonCPD #cpdforsolicitors #legalprofession #cpdevents
