    Relax Recharge Revive: Your Guide to Unmatched Destinations

    Relax, Recharge, Revive - Amazing GIraffe Interactions

    By Molly Adams

    Personal injury attorneys and trial lawyers are high achievers by nature and feed off of the competitive energy of the courtroom. In order to succeed in this pressure-filled industry, attorneys must have an exceptional work ethic and perseverance. However, working in such a heightened capacity usually correlates to immense stress. With a full-time role rarely meaning a nine to five, the average lawyer is logging up to 80 hours a week. Additionally, 75% of lawyers report often or always working outside of regular business hours in order to be accessible to clients. 

    This never-ending cycle of catching up is part of the typical career path for personal injury attorneys and can lead to intense pressure to get everything done. In order to prevent a manifestation of mental health issues and burnout, it is essential to pause and reset. In the midst of jam-packed schedules, endless phone calls and deadlines, it may seem impossible to find a moment of peace. However, learning to take purposeful breaks and enjoy a change of scenery will actually boost productivity. Prioritizing mental health, encouraging firm-wide vacations and taking the time to recharge are necessary steps for burnout prevention for practicing attorneys.

    There will always be more work to complete and cases to tackle, but restoring one’s peace and making time to relax needs to take priority on your business calendar. Make the effort to time block and plan your next vacation. Alert clients you will be out of the office and prioritize your most urgent projects before you go. So to help you plan for your next “Out of Office” adventure, we’ve done some research to find some of the most unique and incredible properties around the globe.

    From the depths of the Waikiki shores to the treetops in Nairobi, Kenya, one thing remains consistent about the destinations we’re going to share with you: exclusivity. Escape to penthouse-style suites with expansive layouts and ample space to relax and recharge. Or travel back in time for a royal adventure that begins with one step through the grand stone gates of an 800-year-old castle. If a traditional take is not your style, retreat to the canopy treetops of Nairobi, Kenya, where you can be accompanied by giraffes during your morning meditation. Embodying tranquility and exploration, these five-star hotels provide an unparalleled experience from the moment you book your stay.
