Managing Partner Allison Murdock and Director of Well-Being Krista Larson spoke on a panel with other industry leaders in In Re KCMBA's recent episode that addresses lawyer well-being. Highlighting the firm's well-being resources and the importance of taking a holistic approach to well-being, Murdock and Larson discussed the many resources that the firm has implemented to support well-being, such as the firm's Connectors and Champions resource, a network of Stinson attorneys and staff who are able and willing to speak with a colleague about their personal experiences with mental health and substance misuse challenges in a one-on-one setting.

In the podcast, Murdock explained that in order to successfully recruit and retain the next generation of lawyers, it is crucial to focus on well-being, work-life balance and soft skills in addition to professional development.

Her focus is on leading and growing a client-focused and community-engaged firm. In addition to serving as the firm's managing partner, Murdock is a member of its executive committee and board of directors.

Larson leads the implementation of Stinson's vision, strategy and programming to support the health and well-being of all constituents of the firm in alignment with the firm's values and its ABA Well-Being Pledge. She also partners with firm and executive leadership on well-being issues.
