Is the legal profession finally moving away from burnout culture?

According to Mel Kang, Founder & CEO of Mezzle…the answer is…👇

NO — not yet.

Traditional firms are still clinging to:

• Billable hour pressure
• Annual targets
• Presenteeism

It’s no wonder more lawyers are exploring alternatives.

In our latest Legally Speaking Podcast™️ episode, Mel explains why Mezzle is built around a fixed fee culture — because clients consistently want three things from their lawyers:

1️⃣ Certainty of price

2️⃣ The person who sold the work to actually do the work

3️⃣ For the job to be done, properly and promptly

That’s it. No jargon. No fluff. Just outcomes.

The shift isn’t just about culture — it’s about delivering what clients actually value, while creating space for lawyers to thrive.
