Join the Women Lawyers of WA for the WLWA Mentoring Program After Work Drinks, proudly sponsored by Clyde & Co.

This relaxed after-work gathering is a chance to connect with women lawyers at every stage of their careers, build meaningful relationships, and learn how the WLWA Mentoring Program supports growth, leadership, and wellbeing in the profession.

Our September theme is "Returning, Rebuilding, Reframing."

Taking a break from practice is one thing. Coming back? That’s a whole other story.

This month’s mentoring After Work Drinks are all about “Returning, Rebuilding, Reframing”, with guest speaker Jenny Thornton, Managing Partner of Clyde & Co, Perth and Vice President of WLWA. Jenny will share her journey through career pivots, leadership, and balancing law with life, as well as practical insights on rebuilding confidence, bridging knowledge gaps, navigating stigma, and reconnecting with networks.

Join us to meet potential mentors and mentees, enjoy light refreshments kindly provided by Clyde & Co, and be part of a movement focused on connection, support, and empowerment.

About the WLWA Mentoring Program

The WLWA Mentoring Program was developed to address the real challenges facing women in the legal profession, including high attrition in the early years of practice, underrepresentation in senior roles, and the impact of career breaks.

We are looking to establish mentoring relationships that go beyond the ups and downs of the law to address the rollercoaster of chaos that is life.

What do you do when you want to pivot practice areas? Who can you turn to if you want to start a firm or go to the bar? What do you do when you've missed a promotion? What do you do when you're promoted? Who can you ask if you want to find a job that'll match your other caring, family or personal responsibilities?

Whether you want to pivot practice areas, start a firm, explore the bar, bounce back from missed promotions, or juggle career with caring responsibilities, this is the community to help you stay, grow, and thrive in the profession.
