IT’S NO SURPRISE that lawyers are often Type A personalities-workaholics, driven, competitive and obsessed with success. But the same men and women who wage war with the tobacco industry or represent defendants in high-profile cases often end up with heart attacks, strokes or hypertension. If they’re lucky, the first health crisis serves as a chilling warning: It’s time to re-prioritize.
Fortunately, corporations and law firms-like ChoicePoint and Alston & Bird-are wising up before a crisis occurs. Far-sighted employers insist that their most valuable assets-their top-level attorneys and executives- have annual checkups. Many specify these executive health programs as part of an overall compensation package. Their motives are not just benevolence; it makes good business sense.
