NEURODIVERSITY 101: ADHD in the Legal Workplace.
DATE: October 15, 2025
TIME: 12:00PM ET
PLACE: Hybrid
ADHD is often stigmatized as an excuse for laziness and misbehaviour. Yet nearly 3 times more lawyers report having experience with ADHD than the general population. Maybe ADHD isn’t what we think!
Every person with ADHD experiences different symptoms and strengths. Many rely on the support of others to thrive at work. What makes the legal workplace so attractive to the ADHD brain? How and why might the positive and negative traits of ADHD may show up at work? What role can folks without ADHD play a key role in unlocking their colleagues’ potential?
When we cultivate a neurodiverse workforce, the unique blend of strengths and skills can generate impressive results. Just like every role contributes to a profitable and efficient workplace, so too does every thinking style!
