Wellbeing that works. Prevention-first health cover with proven returns  

Long hours. Heavy caseloads. Governance pressure. It’s a burnout culture, and it’s putting your firm at risk.


52% of legal professionals are highly stressed2, which is linked to:

  • An 8x higher likelihood of taking sick leave

  • A 3.7x higher likelihood of considering leaving their role

  • An 11x higher likelihood of making costly, deadline‑missing mistakes

Wellbeing isn’t a “nice-to-have”- it’s a strategic imperative.

We chose Simplyhealth to enhance our benefits portfolio as PMI wasn’t an option for our whole workforce. This solution helps us to support our staff with their mental and physical wellbeing. I’d recommend Simplyhealth for their good customer service, functional and well-designed app and portals, and a product I’ve personally used to claim back money on everyday healthcare.
