While these challenges have no single solution, one area that deserves greater attention is office ergonomics.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ergonomics centers on creating working environments that support people&#8217;s physical wellbeing and making it easier for employees to work comfortably, whether they&#8217;re in the office, at home, or moving between the two.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In this guide, we explore why better office ergonomics is a good place to start when looking to improve employee wellbeing and reduce law firm attrition rates in 2027.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Why office ergonomics for law firms is essential<\/b><\/h2>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Retaining legal talent in an increasingly competitive market<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Attracting and retaining experienced legal professionals is an ongoing concern for law firms. Losing employees can mean substantial recruitment and onboarding costs, disrupted client relationships, and additional pressure on the colleagues who remain.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>The data<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Research from <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bighand.com\/en-gb\/resources\/news\/resource-management-report-press-release\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">BigHand&#8217;s 2025 Legal Resource Management Report<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> highlights the scale and direction of law firm attrition, revealing:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The average firm-wide lawyer attrition had reached 27%<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The proportion of associates leaving the legal profession altogether increased from 9% in 2024 to more than 16% in 2025.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">9% of respondents also confided that lateral hiring of nonequity partners was having little, no, or even a negative impact, underscoring the importance of employee retention measures.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Compensation, career progression, management, and workload all of course influence employees&#8217; experiences and their willingness to stay with a firm (or remain in the industry at large). But the physical working environment is another factor worth considering.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>How office ergonomics helps<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lawyers routinely spend extended periods drafting documents, reviewing contracts, conducting research, and communicating with clients. When workstation arrangements are unsuitable or employees struggle to make ergonomic adjustments, discomfort can become an additional challenge during an already demanding working day.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A well-designed ergonomics programme cannot guarantee that employees will stay, but it is a tangible way to improve the employee experience and can help firms address avoidable problems in their working environment.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">By providing appropriate <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cardinus.com\/us\/virtual-ergonomics-assessments\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">ergonomics assessments<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, practical guidance, and a clear process for resolving identified issues, firms can demonstrate that employee wellbeing is part of their day-to-day operations.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When properly communicated, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cardinus.com\/us\/how-ergonomics-strengthens-your-recruitment-strategy\/\"><strong>an office ergonomics program can also strengthen recruitment strategies<\/strong><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, helping law firms to win top legal talent and scale effectively.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Addressing lawyer wellbeing beyond burnout<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lawyer wellbeing has become an increasingly important issue for the legal profession, with demanding workloads and sustained workplace pressure creating challenges for both individuals and employers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>The data<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The American Bar Association&#8217;s <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.americanbar.org\/groups\/lawyer_assistance\/research\/lawyer-well-being\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2025\u20132026 lawyer wellbeing study<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> found that 47.4% of surveyed lawyers screened positive for high burnout. It also found that 41.1% reported that their time in the legal profession had been detrimental to their mental health.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the age of self-care, where people are increasingly prioritising their mental health, it\u2019s not such a stretch to suggest this could be contributing to the current rate of law firm employee attrition.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><b><i>Related &#8211; <\/i><\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cardinus.com\/us\/5-data-backed-reasons-prioritze-mental-health-at-work\/\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">5 data-backed reasons to prioritize mental health at work<\/span><\/i><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These findings highlight the importance of taking employee wellbeing seriously. They also raise questions about whether existing workplace support is sufficient.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Of course, addressing burnout requires a broader response than any single workplace intervention can provide. But the physical working environment should not be overlooked.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>How office ergonomics helps<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Discomfort associated with an unsuitable workstation can add another source of strain to an already demanding working day. <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cardinus.com\/us\/how-position-computer-monitors-sustainable-working\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Poorly positioned screens<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cardinus.com\/us\/8-reasons-the-office-chair-is-misunderstood-undervalued-and-disrespected\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">unsuitable seating<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, and awkward keyboard or mouse placement can contribute to musculoskeletal discomfort, while prolonged periods in static positions can make comfortable working more difficult.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Alongside providing mental health resources and using technology to streamline workloads, firms can help employees assess their workstations, understand how to make appropriate adjustments, and identify problems that require further attention.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A well-designed working environment can also support employees\u2019 ability to focus on demanding tasks, and <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cardinus.com\/us\/4-ways-poor-office-ergonomics-increase-cybersecurity-risk\/\"><strong>increases cybersecurity vigilance<\/strong><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> &#8211; which is critical in a sector that deals with such sensitive data.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Where non-lawyer staff are as busy as lawyers themselves, maintaining an office ergonomics program may seem unrealistic, but there <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">are<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> ways to improve working conditions without the admin burden.

Being that much of this work takes place in an office environment, whether on the firm\u2019s premises or at home, workstations need to be optimised for sustainable working.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>The data<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Research from Law360\u2019s <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cooley.com\/-\/media\/cooley\/pdf\/law360-pulse-lawyer-satisfaction-survey-2025.pdf\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2018Pulse\u2019 2025 Lawyer Satisfaction Survey<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> found that 45% of respondents worked more than 50 hours per week on average.

Longer hours and the stress associated with certain legal roles, work, and tasks can significantly increase the risk of:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Burnout<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Musculoskeletal disorders<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Digital eye strain<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">From there, productivity declines, creating a negative feedback loop in which work hours get even longer, discomfort worsens, and feelings of burnout become more intense.
