What the billable hour really costs
Legal work combines an always-on client-service culture with billable-hour targets and high-stakes deadlines. With 28% of legal professionals saying their work requires 24/7 client availability and 65% checking emails outside working hours, constant availability erodes recovery time and drives sustained stress and burnout.
Burnout risk
Nearly 60% of legal professionals reported poor mental wellbeing. (LawCare, Life in the Law 2025)

Better support, better lawyers, better retention
With turnover at around 20% and each leaver costing an estimated £36,000, wellbeing is a balance-sheet issue for law firms. Spill tackles the pressure behind the exits.
Perform under pressure, sustainably
Help your people manage deadline pressure and perfectionism without burning out.
Protect focus and judgement
Clear heads make better decisions for clients, especially in high-stakes weeks.
Reduce quiet absence
Presenteeism and sick days both fall when people have somewhere to take the pressure.
All-in-one EAP for your team
Unlimited counselling sessions
A completely confidential space for fee earners and support staff to offload, with a fully qualified therapist and no referral step the firm can see. Same-day sessions fit around court, clients and completions, seven days a week.


Self-guided wellbeing resources
A library of practical, evidence-based resources written by licensed therapists who understand the unique pressures law firm workers face. Covering over 200 topics from burnout prevention to perfectionism and sleep, our online resources can be accessed at any time. They're a great first step for anyone who's not quite ready to speak to a counsellor directly.
Expert guidance and training
Practical, therapist-led training workshops designed to empower staff to spot mental health presentations within nurseries, schools and universities and know how to appropriately respond. Teachers can also check in with a Spill safeguarding clinician for advice at any time.

FAQs
The best EAP for a law firm is one that works around client demands: same-day sessions before or after court and client hours, complete confidentiality, and no session caps that cut people off mid-case. Spill is the UK's highest rated EAP on Trustpilot, with unlimited counselling from qualified therapists from £75 a month on a rolling 30 day contract. Law firms and legal teams across the UK use Spill, from high-street practices to in-house counsel. Traditional helpline EAPs cost less per head, but they cap sessions at 6 to 8 a year and route staff to call handlers first.
Spill starts at £75 per month for your whole firm, on a rolling 30 day contract you can cancel with 30 days' notice. For a 25-person practice that works out at £3 per fee earner or member of staff per month, including unlimited counselling sessions. Compare that with the estimated £36,000+ cost of replacing a single leaver. To get a tailored quote, book a free 30 minute demo.
