Information for mentees
Mentees are provided with a unique opportunity to gain first-hand insight into the legal industry and benefit from the wisdom, guidance and support provided by their mentor.

Now in its seventh year, the Program is a wonderful opportunity for female law students (mentees) and practitioners (mentors) to forge valuable networks, share ideas and enjoy professional companionship. Pairs are encouraged to meet face-to-face as often as possible, but much is left to the discretion of participants. Meetings can occur at VWL and WBA events, over coffee, at lunchtime, over a weekend brunch, in the mentor’s office, or even, as we learnt from one pair of past participants, at a bar over a few glasses of wine!
