Hear from Ken Feinberg, a US attorney recently played by Michael Keaton in the feature film "Worth", Baroness Helena Kennedy one of the UK`s most distinguished lawyers, Gary Gallen founder and CEO of challenger law firm rradar and Ally Thomson and Emma Flood from Hey Legal.

Kenneth R. Feinberg is an American Attorney specialising in mediation and alternative dispute resolution. In 2001, Kenneth was appointed the Special Master of the US Government's September 11th Victim Compensation Fund, an undertaking that saw him become a polarising figure in the media as he decided how much money each victim's family was to receive. Detailing this work in his book 'What is life worth?', it was later adapted into a movie titled 'Worth', starring Michael Keaton as Feinberg. In this incredible first episode of Shaping Your Success, Johanna Boyd of Brodies discusses the emotional nature of Kenneth's work, his top-tips on achieving a work/life balance and asks his advice for Scottish solicitors looking to adopt a 'Trauma-informed' approach.
