Spill's employee assistance programme (EAP) for law firms

The billable hour doesn't leave much room for being human. 79% of legal professionals work beyond their contracted hours and nearly 60% report poor mental wellbeing. Spill gives law firms confidential counselling that fits around court, clients and completion deadlines, with sessions from 7am to 9:30pm every day of the week.

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)

Long hours

79% of legal professionals regularly work beyond their contracted hours. (LawCare, 2025)

Intention to leave

56% could see themselves leaving their current workplace within five years. (LawCare, 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.
