In October, the SEC will be launching a mentoring scheme. They are at present seeking to establish a panel of volunteer mentors available to assist tenants, both new and established practitioners. It will be on a one to one confidential basis.   Those seeking mentoring can choose between a mentor in the same discipline/ specialist area of practice, but from a different chambers, or a mentor from a discipline/ specialism different to their own.  They will pair those wishing to be mentored with an appropriately experienced mentor, who will endeavour to assist with, for example:

  • practice development opportunities
  • Chambers or practice area moves
  • challenges of returning to work
  • challenges or conflicts within Chambers

Please email mentoring@southeastcircuit.org.uk if you would be willing to assist. It is not intended to be an onerous demand on your time.
