About this episodeHosted by: Annie Boxer and Lauren GuilerGuests: Matthew Richardson and Trevor Sterling This is the second Resolution podcast episode of 2025 and it is a special YRes takeover featuring YRes National Committee members, Annie Boxer (Solicitor at the International Family Law Group LLP) and Lauren Guiler (Associate at Birketts). However, this episode can of course also be enjoyed by more senior Resolution members. We are hot off the back of the great success that was the YRes National Conference in November 2024 and there were some hugely interesting and engaging sessions that touched on topics such as wellbeing, mistakes, and career progression. The National YRes Committee thought about how we could we spread these conversations wider and we were kindly trusted by Anita Mehta and Simon Blain to host this podcast episode. Annie and Lauren are joined by Matthew Richardson (Barrister at Coram Chambers) and Trevor Sterling (Senior Partner at Moore Barlow). In addition to being financial remedy practitioner, a mediator and a private FDR adjudicator Matthew has taken a leading role in developing and implementing his chambers’ wellbeing programme. Matthew was named as the “Wellbeing Champion” at the Resolution awards in 2023. Whilst Trevor is not a family lawyer, his work as head of the major trauma team means that he is regularly exposed to extreme client situations and helping those most in need. Trevor has an extraordinary passion for helping the next generation and creating a movement of “ladder builders”. The topics discussed in this episode include law firm culture and wellbeing, mistakes made early in careers and lessons learned, mentorship and guidance, and diversity and inclusion. Annie and Lauren start the episode with an icebreaker by asking Matthew and Trevor to share and reflect on a mistake they made early on in their careers. They then delve into other topical discussions and Matthew and Trevor provide practical guidance along the way. Resolution offers a 1-2-1 mentoring service and if you are interested in this service as a mentee or a mentor, please follow the below link. https://resolution.org.uk/professional-development/resolution-121-mentoring-programme/ Annie and Lauren hope you enjoy listening to this episode as much as they did recording it with their special guests.
