Come and join the Women Lawyers' Community and KWM for the launch of the WLWA Mentoring Program!

Click here for more information about the program.

The WLWA Mentoring Program was established to support the retention, advancement, and wellbeing of women in the legal profession.

It was developed in response to well-documented challenges including underrepresentation in senior roles, high attrition during early years of practice, and the career impact of parental leave or other professional interruptions.

ABOUT THE WLWA MENTORING PROGRAM

The program provides structured, confidential mentoring relationships that offer guidance, connection, and space for professional reflection.

WHO IS THE PROGRAM FOR?

WLWA Mentoring Program is specifically designed for:

early-career women lawyers;
returners to practice;
emerging leaders/ managers; and
those seeking career clarity or support at pivotal stages of their personal lives or legal careers.

WHAT MAKES OUR PROGRAM DIFFERENT?

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

WLWA recognises that a legal career does not occur in a vacuum - emails get answered on the school run, before brunch with friends or in-between meal prep. So we've designed a mentoring program that'll help you meet like-minded people who will help you through all the professional and personal challenges (and joys) that come with pursuing a legal career.

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?

In short: now that you're in the law... who can help you stay in the profession?

Come join WLWA for our launch, meet potential mentors/ mentees and enjoy a few light refreshments thanks to our sponsors KWM.
