Abstract:

The Law Society is committed to promoting gender equality, diversity and inclusion within the solicitors’ profession. As part of the commitment, it is offered a highly successful Women in Leadership Mentoring Programme. The Law Society and Law Society Skillnet is focused on investing in the success of its members with the aim of supporting women who wish to grow personally and professionally and advance their careers to a senior level. Mentoring partners generally commit to meeting once a month for around an hour over the course of eight months. The mentee could seek help on concerns about how to progress to next role, want help to develop a new skill that find particularly difficult, improve job performance and increase chance of promotion or simply want some guidance to network and build connections through this important stage in the career. If you are a solicitor who is willing to ask questions, take direction, be open minded, eager to learn and honest about how you want to progress your career, your participation in this programme is recommended. For the programme, all female solicitors, who are qualified solicitors and members of the Law Society of Ireland may apply to be mentored. As a mentor, passing on the experience and knowledge can be very rewarding and is a great way to give back to others in the legal profession. The mentor panel is made up of senior solicitors (female and male) from the public and private sectors.
