People are your greatest asset
In a law firm, talent is everything. Your people’s expertise, judgement and performance drive your business forward every day.
But even the most capable professionals can feel overwhelmed when it comes to their own finances.
There’s no billable time for financial planning
In an industry driven by billable hours, most legal professionals don’t have time to be their own financial expert. Trainees and junior lawyers at top UK firms average 13-hour days (Legal Cheek, 2024).
61% of lawyers say they struggle with financial confidence
The pressure to earn, provide, and plan for the future – all while performing in a high-stakes environment – takes a toll. While they may be high earners, many face complex financial situations – from the “tax trap” to mortgage barriers – with no clear place to turn for help. Most don’t have the time, tools, or headspace to figure it out alone.
Inclusive support for every background, every career stage
Financial wellbeing and social mobility are becoming core pillars of DE&I – but real inclusion means meeting people where they are. From trainee to partner, Octopus Money provides tailored 1-to-1 guidance that helps every employee build confidence, take action, and feel in control of their future – no matter their background or financial starting point.

How the UK’s top law firm for social mobility uses Octopus Money to support every employee

“We realised that ‘one size fits all’ actually fits no one”
Browne Jacobson, one of the UK’s most progressive law firms, recently introduced Octopus Money to support employees across every level of the firm – from partners to support staff.
Why? Because they knew that “one size fits all” doesn’t work – especially when you’re supporting people from a range of backgrounds, salaries, and life stages. With 1-to-1 advice, every employee gets support that’s relevant to them – and actionable from day one.
