By creating a safe space to communicate, this programme for women lawyers enables participants to share challenges, navigate uncertainty, and develop strategies for overcoming obstacles. Both mentors and mentees have found that the process helps them to build confidence, embrace change, and remain agile in the face of professional demands. By developing new skills and broadening your networks, you’ll find you are better equipped to lead, inspire, and drive positive change within your organisations and the wider profession. 

One hour per month 

For mentors and mentees there is a manageable time commitment of approximately one hour per month over eight months, plus training.  

The programme carefully matches mentors and mentees to facilitate knowledge sharing and professional development. 

Training and guidance are provided by Skillnet to ensure all participants feel confident and prepared to maximise the benefits of participation.
