Transitioning from the military into civilian life and employment

The Irwin Mitchell Podcast

To mark Armed Forces Day, our military injury partner and former Army Lawyer, Andrew Buckham, hosted a special edition of the Irwin Mitchell Podcast.

We were pleased to welcome a panel of specialists, including James Cameron of Mission Motorsport, Rob Kelly from Bootnecks in2 Business, and Tony Radford of The Royal Marines Charity.

They shared insights and advice on the challenges faced by veterans and the 14,000 service members* who leave the Armed Forces each year, covering:

• The issues people face when transitioning to civilian life, and the impact on their families

• The availability of support networks

• Veteran strengths as employees

• Retention of veteran employees and workplace education.

Drawing on their personal experiences, they shared touching stories and humorous anecdotes.

If you need expert legal and financial advice after an injury sustained in the Armed Forces, our team is here to help.

Further support and resources for serving personnel and veterans are available at Mission Motorsport, Bootnecks in2 Business, and The Royal Marines Charity.
