Flexible business health cover for legal and accounting firms
Billable hours drive your business. Every lost hour hits margins, client delivery, and reputation.1 When burnout strikes, productivity drops. Simplyhealth provides wellbeing solutions to keep your people healthy, engaged, and performing at their best.
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.
