Unit Chambers is proud to announce that we have been highly commended for the Wellbeing Award at the LexisNexis Legal Awards 2026. This recognition reflects our ongoing commitment to the wellbeing of our barristers and highlights the efforts we’ve made to create a supportive, inclusive, and balanced working environment.

Based in Manchester and Liverpool, Unit Chambers has long understood that the demands of legal practice, particularly in family law, can have a significant impact on our members' wellbeing. That’s why we prioritise work-life balance, mental health support, and overall wellness. By embedding these values into our daily operations, we aim to ensure that every barrister is supported, both personally and professionally.

Amjad Kadhim, Consultant Barrister and Wellbeing Officer at Unit Chambers, commented on the recognition:

“It’s a great honour to be recognised by LexisNexis for our work in making Unit Chambers an environment where members feel able to achieve a healthy work-life balance and to be supported in a career where wellbeing is one of the fundamental values championed by our chambers. I’m grateful to the leadership team at Unit Chambers for all of their support for our wellbeing initiatives throughout the years, and I look forward to continuing our wellbeing initiatives for many more years to come.”

“Unit Chambers are highly commended for their outstanding leadership in wellbeing at the Bar, demonstrating a deep understanding of the emotional pressures of family law and responding with practical, innovative support. Through structured check-ins, intelligent diary management and a commitment to measuring and refining what works, they show how chambers can build a resilient, connected and genuinely supportive culture.”

This recognition is a reflection of our commitment to building and maintaining a work environment where every member has the opportunity to succeed without compromising their wellbeing. We are proud to continue evolving our approach to wellbeing, ensuring that our barristers have access to the tools, support, and resources they need to balance their careers and personal lives effectively.
